I'm trying to write a mapping function using V8 client library. But there is not much i can configure. For example in the NEST V7, i can specify analyzer, multifields to a certain field via fluent mapping:  
'''  
.Text(tt =\> tt  
.Name(zazzleStemmerAnalyzer)  
.Analyzer(zazzleStemmerAnalyzer)  
.SearchAnalyzer(zazzleStemmerAnalyzer))  
'''

> **[Fluent mapping | Elasticsearch .NET Clients \[7.17\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/net-api/7.17/fluent-mapping.html)**

But there is no way to add any specification to mapping in V8 client library. The only thing i can do is to map a field to a type:  
'''  
.Mappings(mappings =\> mappings.Properties(p =\> p  
.LongNumber(e =\> e.Id)  
.Text(t =\> t.Title)))  
'''  
Anyone know if it's possible to do the same thing in NEST V7 with V8 client?  
Or it's better to wait for a formal release of V8 client code? Is it GA yet? Thanks!  
Besides @stevejgordon , the code example in this document is still using NEST, [Audit trail | Elasticsearch .NET Client [8.9] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/net-api/8.9/audit-trail.html)  
But it's in the V8.9 client document.
