I'm trying to get the context suggester to work using a `keyword` field (ie not analyzed), but I can only get it to work with a `text` field. Changing the type of `user` from `keyword` to `text` will make the example below work. Is there a reason that the context suggester can only work on `text` fields?

PUT [http://localhost:9200/index-test](http://localhost:9200/index-test)

```auto
{
    "mappings": {
        "item" : {
            "properties" : {
            	"user": {
            		"type": "keyword"
            	},
                "keywords" : {
                    "type" : "completion",
                    "contexts": [
                        { 
                            "name": "user",
                            "type": "category",
                            "path": "user"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

```

PUT [http://localhost:9200/index-test/item/1](http://localhost:9200/index-test/item/1)

```auto

    "keywords": ["timmy's", "starbucks", "dunkin donuts"],
    "user": "abc"
}

```

```auto
{
  "suggest": {
    "keywords": {
      "prefix": "s",
      "completion": {
        "field": "keywords",
        "size": 10,
        "contexts": {
          "user": "abc"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
