Hi everyone! A little noob question for you

By reading the guide, I saw that when defining a mapping for an index,  
we can set for a field different properties such as type, index, etc.

But I didn't find anywhere the exhaustive list of all the properties  
that can be set for a field, an for each property the possible values  
it can take.

So, where can I find a such list please?

Thanks.

Okay! It seems that my question is not so clear.

Id we consider this simple example of mapping definition:

{

"type1": {

"properties" :

{

"field1" : { ... }

}

}

}

what are the different properties that can be set in the JSON corresponding  
to "field1"?

By readng the guide and the examples, I know that there is : type,  
term\_vector, index, analyzer. What are the other properties

Thanks

Finally I git my reply by well reading the guide (I missed mapping chapter).
