Hey Gurus, i am sure most of the ppl might have came across this.

I am looking to have a nested type defined during index creation (Dynamic mapping). below are the options have explored.

Option 1:

1. Push a document to index
2. Get the mappings created from step1
3. Modify the mappings with nested type.
4. Update the mappings.

Option 2:  
Dynamic templates.

Please let me know if there a way to create nested types during initial (dynamic) index creation.

Thanks in advance.
