ES reads the configured mappings only when the index is created. After
that, you can change the configured mappings all you want, but ES won't
reload them.
You need to PUT an updated set of mappings to an existing index. And to
repeat Client, ES will require that the updated mappings are consistent
with the existing mappings. For example, a field mapped as a string cannot
be changed to be mapped as number. But ES will tell you if the settings and
mappings are incompatible or not.

Please note that I am not changing my mapping files "on the fly", but
rather using ES config/mappings folder to load them.
