I've got a couple dozen or so indexes for which I've defined config/default-mapping.json that includes dynamic\_templates and properties which works fine; however, I now have a new index for which I do not want the default-mapping.json to apply. i.e. I just want to use the default out-of-the-box Elasticsearch dynamic mappings. What's the easiest way to do this without having to define every type in this new index? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
