I have comma separated values in one column and i want to use that column in elastic search.  
Mapping created with Nested type.

Below is mapping :  
e.g

"mapping": {  
"doctype": {  
"type": "nested",  
"properties": {  
"d": {  
"type": "short"  
}  
}  
}

After created index and Inserted data, i found some warning with that column.

So i want to know is there any issue with mapping? or it will create any issue in future? or is there best way to store this type of values?

Thanks
