Hi,

I am trying to create a dynamic template so that every number datatype(dynamically mapped) is indexed=true.  
I am using below command to create my index, and the string datatypes are getting indexed, but not the long.

curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/my\_index?pretty](http://localhost:9200/my_index?pretty)' -d'  
{  
"mappings": {  
"my\_type": {  
"dynamic\_templates": [  
{  
"integers": {  
"match\_mapping\_type": "long",  
"mapping": {  
"type": "long",  
"index" : "not\_analyzed"  
}  
}  
},  
{  
"strings": {  
"match\_mapping\_type": "string",  
"mapping": {  
"type": "string",  
"index" : "not\_analyzed"  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}  
'

This is my data

curl -XPUT '[http://IP:9200/my\_index/my\_type/1?pretty](http://IP:9200/my_index/my_type/1?pretty)' -d'  
{  
"my\_integer": 5,  
"my\_string": "Some string"  
}'

Please format your code with `</>` icon so it won't be ugly.

What does this give?

```
curl 'http://IP:9200/my_index/my_type/_mapping?pretty'
```
