Hi,
is there a way to change the default value of "term\_vector" (default "no")
for field type "string"? I would like ES to continue generating mappings
dynamically (I can't define my mapping in advance) but I want all the
"string" fields to be created with "term\_vector" =
"with\_positions\_offsets".
Thank you,
Mik.
