I am trying out the following use case:

I want only the fields from index template, or index mapping, for which mapping property store=true,  
though I can get the mapping and parse it and check for the criteria or can use get mapping for a particular field, but the first once is not feasible and the for later I need to specify the field name in advanced, also it returns the whole mapping for field, where I need only store.

Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks:)

Welcome to our community! 😃

There's no way to query `_mapping` for a specific field type. You need to get the whole thing and parse it.
