In the below url they have explained nested types but how to specify type  
to nested properties

[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-nested-type.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-nested-type.html)

Example given

{  
"obj1" : [  
{  
"name" : "blue",  
"count" : 4  
},  
{  
"name" : "green",  
"count" : 6  
}  
]  
}

Mapping given

{  
"type1" : {  
"properties" : {  
"obj1" : {  
"type" : "nested"  
}  
}  
}  
}

We say type is "nested" But how to map name to string and count to int ??
