I need to create a new datatype which should be used inside a dynamic template and also while indexing, the value stored against the new type should be processed based on my custom logic.
Should I create mapper plugin or ingest plugin or both?
If you want to modify the _source document on the fly before it gets indexed, then definitely use an ingest plugin.
If you don't want to change the _source field, then look at mappers.
But I'd recommend using ingest.
