I am trying to create a template, in my template m trying to achive the dynamic mapping

Here is what i wrote,as in 6.2.1 the only boolean, date, double, long, object, string are automatically detected,facing issues for mapping the float,short & byte

Here if i index 127,its will be mapped to short from the short\_fields ,its fine,but while indexing 325566 ,getting exception Numeric value (325566) out of range of Java short,i want to suppress this and let long\_fields,should take care about this & it should be mapped to long. I have tried with corse:false,ignore\_malformed:true none of the worked as excpected,same with byte ,getting invalid byte object

```
[  
   "dynamic_templates":[  
      {  
         {  
            "short_fields":{  
               "match":"*",
               "match_mapping_type":"long",
               "mapping":{  
                  "type":"short",
                  "doc_values":true
               }
            }
         },
         {  
            "long_fields":{  
               "match":"*",
               "match_mapping_type":"long",
               "mapping":{  
                  "type":"long",
                  "doc_values":true
               }
            }
         }
```
