When I send my schema via JS, I get:

```
 Failed to parse mapping [posting]: analyzer [toy_analyzer] not found for field [message]

```

When I have the script print out the schema, and copy it into a curl request, I get:

```
{"acknowledged" : true}

```

I've been looking at this for too long to see any error — please help!

The mapping is below, and pretty much came from the ES site.

The code to send it worked until I added filters earlier...

```
 client.indices.create({ index: $index, body: $schemaBody });

```

$schemaBody =

I deleted and re-entered the code, and now it seems to work — I guess it was just a typo.

How can I delete this post?

TIA
