Index Mappings

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I'm reading the document about Mappings here
(http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-create-index.html).
Is there a way to define a mapping/properties for every type in an index?
For example, for all types in index x, I want to have a field called "name"
that have the same properties across the board. Is there a way to specify
that?

Thanks.

Hi,

I think you can use index templates:

Note the last example on the above docs page where the 'default' is used
to match any type.

You can also take a look at
