It's posible create a mapping with templates who setup a field value from other two fields example : This -\> curl -XPOST [http://localhost:9200/us\_large\_cities/city/](http://localhost:9200/us_large_cities/city/) -d {"name":"XXX","state":"AA"} It will store on elasticsearch that : {"name":"XXX","state":"AA","mergedFields":"XXX-AA"} Thats posible??
