Issue in creating mapping with _all field having different analyzer though in different index

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I am stucked with below problem in production. Could you help me solve this

In Production i have two indices "hs" and "hsproduct".
In index "hs", i have type "product" whose mapping contains "_all" to some custom analyzer1. In index "hsproduct", i have type with same name as "product".
The issue when i try to PUT mapping file for type "product" in index "hsproduct" with _all analyzer as different "analyzer2", it gives me below error as

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"Mapper for [_all] conflicts with existing mapping in other types:\n[mapper [_all] has different [analyzer], mapper [_all] is used by multiple types. Set update_all_types to true to update [search_analyzer] across all types., mapper [_all] is used by multiple types. Set update_all_types to true to update [search_quote_analyzer] across all types.]"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"Mapper for [_all] conflicts with existing mapping in other types:\n[mapper [_all] has different [analyzer], mapper [_all] is used by multiple types. Set update_all_types to true to update [search_analyzer] across all types., mapper [_all] is used by multiple types. Set update_all_types to true to update [search_quote_analyzer] across all types.]"},"status":400}

Does this mean that _all field is shared across indices and i cannot use different analyzer though in different index.

Kinldy, help me solve this as it is in Production and i am stucked with no clue.

Thanks,
Naved

See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/2.x/mapping-intro.html#updating-a-mapping

You can't change existing field mappings.
If you want to change _all field settings, you can only define when the index create.
You can use different analyzer each indices.
