I have a complex JSON where in #text field appears in multiple paths within
the JSON
I want to use dynamic template to map some of these fields as float and
rest will be string based on the path.
path\_match defined within the dynamic template works fine for me, however
should I be defining one template per path pattern?
is there a way to provide multiple paths within a single template?
E.g.
"path\_match" : "DataArea.Order.OrderAmount._.#text"
"path\_match" : "DataArea.Order.OrderPaymentInfo.Amount._.#text"
