Hi,

The following template mapping

> curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/template/service\_01](http://localhost:9200/template/service_01) -d '{  
> "template" : "service\*",  
> "order": 1,  
> "settings" : {  
> "index.cache.field.type" : "soft",  
> "index.refresh\_interval" : "5s",  
> "index.store.compress.stored" : true,  
> "mapping.allow\_type\_wrapper": true  
> },  
> "mappings" : {  
> "\_default" : {  
> "\_all" : {"enabled" : false},  
> "\_timestamp" : {"enabled" : true,"path" : "0STARTTIMESTAMP","format" : "YYYY/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"},  
> "properties" : {  
> "0STARTTIMESTAMP": {  
> "type": "date",  
> "format": "YYYY/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"  
> },  
> "STOPTIMESTAMP": {  
> "type": "date",  
> "format": "YYYY/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }'

Works great in ES 1.4.4. For the below data.

> {"index":{"\_index":"service\_sapstats","\_type":"mytype"}}  
> {"0STARTTIMESTAMP":"2015/02/13 13:00:00","\*STOPTIMESTAMP":"2015/02/13 13:15:00","data":"somedata"}

But in ES 2.0.0 it throws the below exceptions.

> {"index":{"index":"service\_sapstats","\_type":"SAM","\_id":null,"status":400,"error":{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"mapping [\_default]","caused\_by":{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"Mapping definition for [\_timestamp] has unsupported parameters: [path : 0STARTTIMESTAMP]"}}

in ES 2.0.0
