Is it possible for document mappings to be inherited

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a document type with some complicated field mappings, and another
with same mappings plus one extra field.

So question: is there a way to inherit field mappings ? What options do I
have so I don't copy paste field mappings into each document type ?

This is similar to dynamic templateshttp://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/custom-dynamic-mapping.html#dynamic-templates,
except I want to match on type eg: "my_type*", so that my_type and
my_type_extra_field get the same mappings.

Look into index templates with ordering. You can perhaps achieve what you
are looking for if you can restrict the match wildcard.
