How can I create a mapping structure by using nested property for created index? I got an error below. This url produces below result:  
[http://xxx:9200/usereventsreduced-2020/event/\_search?pretty=true](http://xxx:9200/usereventsreduced-2020/event/_search?pretty=true)

UrlQueryString is a nested one! we need describe it is nested.

          "Environment": "Production-K8S"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

```

But below code doesn't work because I have to describe my paping with nested object. UrlQueryString is a nested one.

```auto
{
    "query": {
        "nested" : {
            "path" : "UrlQueryString",
            "query" : {
                "bool" : {
                    "must" : [
                    { "match" : {"UrlQueryString.parameter" : "grand-urfa-hotel"} }
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

```

My Mapping code :

```auto
PUT /usereventsreduced-*/_mapping/event
{
    "mappings" : {
        "properties" : {
            "UrlQueryString" : {
                "type" : "nested"
            }
        }
    }
}

```

Result:

```auto
{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
        "reason": "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [mappings : {properties={UrlQueryString={type=nested}}}]"
      }
    ],
    "type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
    "reason": "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [mappings : {properties={UrlQueryString={type=nested}}}]"
  },
  "status": 400
}

```
