I know that you can configure an analyzer per field via \_mapping, but if I want to configure an analyzer or tokenizer for an entire schema (unfortunately, I do not know the schema upfront), is there a way? Any examples will be highly appreciated. The real problem I am trying to solve is avoid tokenization for some of the fileds that I need to facet on. I need the facets to count the exact phrase and not tokenized pieces. However, there are tons of fields that fall into the above and I do not know want to configure each such attribute individually.

You can change the default analyzer at the index level [1]. "Schemas" tend to be organized per type, but since each similarly named field is shared in the index, each field should have the same analysis. Of course, the default analyzer will be used on every field. You can change the analyzer per field if you match on certain attributes such as name or type [2].
