Hi,

When I tried to create an index containing a field of type: "version" or "geo\_point" with 'index' : true/false (sample input below) through the Java API client (7.17.7), I am getting the following exception. Could some on help on this.

Input 1 :

```auto
"my_version": {
        "type": "version",
        "store": true,
       "index": false
      }

```

Exception :

_co.elastic.clients.json.JsonpMappingException: Error deserializing co.elastic.clients.elasticsearch.\_types.mapping.VersionProperty: Unknown field 'index' (JSON path: mappings.properties.my\_version.index) (in object at line no=1, column no=792, offset=791)_

Input 2 :

```auto
"location": {
        "type": "geo_point",
        "index": false,
        "store": true,
        "doc_values": false
     }

```

Exception :

_co.elastic.clients.json.JsonpMappingException: Error deserializing co.elastic.clients.elasticsearch.\_types.mapping.GeoPointProperty: Unknown field 'index' (JSON path: mappings.properties.location.index) (in object at line no=1, column no=790, offset=789)_

I am using _PutTemplateRequestBuilder::withJson(Reader input)_ method to parse the mappings. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
