Hi folks,  
does anyone know if it's possible to map two different source fields to a single index field?

For example, i will be storing two differnt types of a source docs (source1 and sourc2) in the same index  
source1 has a field called "myfield" and source2 has a field called "yourfield" (these fields are of same type, string)

i would like to index both of the field as "ourfield".

Is this possible?

thanks
