Dynamic mapping issue

[Sandeep_Raju (Sandy)]

Hi I'm having indices being sent dynamically to my project.

When indices are being pushed , fields are mapped dynamically.
Due to this mappings are different everytime.
For example for 1 index , created date field is formatted as text and another it is formatted as date.

We cannot change mapping for existing fields.
Is there a way to handle existing indices & also before pushing indices.
And for dynamic mapping can we do this before pushing by mapping templates ?

I think you had to use explicit mappings. From now what you can do is reindex the index or add multi field to the fields.
