Hi all, i'm trying to push data with dynamically mapping to indices.

The problem is everytime every string field is taken as text instead of keyword and it later throws an error.

I cannot define mappings as they are pushed dynamically .

Any way to overcome this?

It is possible to configure dynamic mappings by [Dynamic templates](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/dynamic-templates.html#match-mapping-type).
