Hello!

I have field mappings for an index like

```auto
{ "index_patterns": ["logstash-iis2-*"],
  "version":100,
  "settings":{
    "number_of_replicas":0,
    "number_of_shards":1,
    "index.refresh_interval":"30s"
  },
  "mappings":{
   "doc":{
       "dynamic": false,
       "date_detection": false,
       "properties":{
         "@timestamp":{
          "type":"date"
          },
        "@version":{
          "type":"keyword"
          },
        "date":{
         "type":"date",
         "format": "yyyy-MM-dd"
        },
        "time":{
         "type":"date",
         "format": "HH:mm:ss"
        },
        "server-ip":{
         "type":"ip",
          "fields":{
            "keyword":{
              "type":"keyword"
            }
          }
        }, ...

```

and get a mapping without the correct number of replicas (1 instead of 0) and also the actual field types do not match my mapping configuration, for example

```auto
"server-ip": {
          "type": "text",
          "fields": {
            "keyword": {
              "type": "keyword",
              "ignore_above": 256
            }
          }
        }, ...

```

What's wrong here? Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Ben
