I have 3 JSON key value pairs in my document which I insert into  
elasticsearch and visualize using Kibana4.The 3 JSON keys are `NT`,`XT`and  
`YT`. The values are typically integers between 100 and 1000 for all the  
three keys. Some typical values are `543`,`328` and `753`. When I visualize  
the keys in Kibana4 I get the below warning for each of the above three  
keys.

`This is an analyzed string field.Analyzed string fields are highly unique and can use a lot of memory to visualize`

In an attempt to fix the above problem I have used the below shell script  
to create a mapping for the `document type` in elastic search that contain  
these keys.

My elasticsearch index is `bits` and my document type is `nts` and I am  
trying to assign type `long` for 3 JSON keys in the document of type `nts`  
namely `NT`, `XT` and `YT`.

```
#!/bin/bash

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/bits/nts/_mapping' -d '
{
        "events" : {
            "dynamic" : "strict",
            "properties" : {
                "NT" : {
                        type : "long" 
                 },
                "XT" : {
                        type : "long" 
                 },
                "YT" : {
                        type : "long" 
                }
            }
        },
}'

```

The above mapping doesn't fix the problem and I am still getting the  
`analyzed string field` warning. Can someone point out what could be wrong?
