Hi, I am having an issue with FSriver and my mapping. I set up my index with its mapping, before I even set up the river. I can check the mapping at that point and it shows my mapping. However, once I start the river and it indexes data. The mapping has changed to FSriver's mapping. Does anyone have a fix for it or has anyone else seen this? Here is my elasticsearch stuff.

POST /docs/mydocs  
{  
"mappings":{  
"properties":{  
"title": "string",  
"author": "string",  
"content": "string"  
}  
}  
}  
PUT \_river/helpriver/\_meta  
{  
"type": "fs",  
"fs":{  
"url": "this is where my directory goes",  
"includes": [".\*doc", ".\*docx"],  
"update\_rate": "10000"  
},  
"index":{  
"index": "docs",  
"type": "mydocs"  
}  
}  
Thanks
