If I have a mapping like this:

```
{
  mappings: {
    'my_index': {
		properties: {
			i_want_analyzed: {
			  index: "my_analyzer",
			  properties {
			    some_field: {
				  type: 'string'
				}
			  }
			},
			i_do_not_want_analyzed: {
			  index: "not_analyzed",
			  properties {
			    some_other_field: {
				  type: 'string'
				}
			  }				
			}
		}
	}

```

Why does this not work? How can I make it so that non-explicit fields that get added under the "i\_do\_not\_want\_analyzed" will automatically be "not\_analyzed", where fields added under "i\_want\_analyzed" will not get that behavior?
