Hi,

I have mysql data.

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/9/981e9247901eb1c0ecdf98b4b31ea2e03000ed8c.png)

I index it. But it was not true.  
For example,  
I have"sektor" field in mysql database. It was indexed with php code:

```
$sektor=$ihale['sektor'];
$sektor=trim($sektor, ',');
$sektor_array=explode(',', $sektor);
$sektor_array=array_unique($sektor_array);

$myTypeMapping['properties']['sektor']['type']='nested';
$myTypeMapping['properties']['sektor']['index']='analyzed';

```

My index name: ihaleler  
My type name: ihale  
I tested on sense editor:

`GET /ihaleler/ihale/_mapping?pretty`

result:

```
   "sektor": {
            "type": "string"
          }

```

What is the problem?

May be you have already an existing mapping?  
Or may be the way you put the mapping is wrong?
