Hi, is it possible to use mask in mapping, for example

this:

```auto
"properties": {
        "field_one": {"type": "double"},
        "field_two": {"type": "double"},
        "field_three": {"type": "double"},
    }

```

rewrite to:

```auto
"properties": {
        "*": {"type": "double"},
    }

```

Have a look at dynamic mapping templates here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/2.x/custom-dynamic-mapping.html#dynamic-templates](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/2.x/custom-dynamic-mapping.html#dynamic-templates)

Hope that helps
