I'm trying to create an index template that looks like this:
{
"template": "myindex\*",
"order": 0,
"mappings": {
"obj1": {
"properties": {
"obj2": {
"type": "object",
"propterties": {
"id": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not\_analyzed"
},
"name": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not\_analyzed"
}
}
},
"name": {
"index": "not\_analyzed",
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}
}
When creating the index later on, the mapping looks like this:
{
"obj1": {
"properties": {
"obj2": {
"type": "object"
},
"name": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not\_analyzed"
}
}
}
}
And when I index a document the mapping of fields "obj2.id" and "obj2.name"
are dynamically created (with type string) but does not become
"not\_analyzed" which is what I need them to be.
Any ideas? Is it not possible to use object mappings in index templates?
I'm running ES version 0.19.8.

Never mind, the error was caused by a typo - saw it when I read my post
after posting it.
