Hello,

I have 2 fields with conflicting types text, object and these fields are being indexed into same document and as a result, index request is giving a MapperParserException in ES 5.x..While this works perfectly fine in ES 2.x ?

I know i can rename the property, but i am looking for other alternative solutions.

Is there a setting by which we can use to make both the mappings stay in the index ? Or ES 5.x implementation doesn't allow such mappings anymore ?

Read [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and specifically the "Also be patient" part.

It's fine to answer on your own thread after 2 or 3 days (not including weekends) if you don't have an answer.

It would help if you give a concrete example.
