Yes use an index template see [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html) it is exactly for this case.

It will be applied to all new indices that fit the pattern apologies I should have showed you this at first I just wasn't sure what you were trying to accomplish.

it would look something like this and every new index created with the pattern will apply this mapping

```
PUT _template/stats
{
  "index_patterns": ["stats*"],
  "settings": {
    "number_of_shards": 1
  },
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "location": {
        "type": "geo_point"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
