Is it possible to specify "path" in multi\_field mapping per field not per  
entire property?  
Example: I would like to map Vendor name property in multiple ways - edge  
n-grammed for, shingled, not analyzed plus I want to include it into  
"my\_all" field  
First three mapped fields I would like to be named as vendor.name.ngramm,  
vendor.name.shingle, vendor.name.notanalyzed while the last one must be  
called my\_all so I can combine several properties into it.

I could use "jsut\_name" and give my first three fields full names  
( vendor.name.ngramm etc) but it would be lot better if I could specify  
path per mapped field instead.  
In my case it is more important than in general as I am trying to generate  
ES mapping file from my own annotated document metadata and having to  
produce full (nested) property name within metadata transformation process  
is rather a challenge
