I am trying to disable **norms** in Elasticsearch 6.8 but getting the error:

> elasticsearch.exceptions.RequestError: TransportError(400, 'mapper\_parsing\_exception', 'Mapping definition for [AC] has unsupported parameters: [norms : false]'

Mapping looks like that:

{'AC': {'doc\_values': False, 'norms': False, 'type': 'integer'}, ...}

**doc\_values** can be disabled fine but **norms** - not.

`norms` is not a supported parameter for integer fields - [Numeric datatypes | Elasticsearch Guide [6.8] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/number.html#number-params)
