ES 2.2.0

I get this error:

```
# curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/vendnext_new_no_auth_index/ -d @./vendnext_new_no_auth_index.config.json
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [search_analyzer : search_ngram] [index_analyzer : index_ngram]"}],"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"Failed to parse mapping [vendnext_new_no_auth_type]: Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [search_analyzer : search_ngram] [index_analyzer : index_ngram]","caused_by":{"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [search_analyzer : search_ngram] [index_analyzer : index_ngram]"}},"status":400}

```

With this schema:

```
{
  "mappings": {
    "vendnext_new_no_auth_type":{
      "index_analyzer": "index_ngram",
      "search_analyzer": "search_ngram",

    }
  },
  "settings": {

          "max_gram":35
        }
      },
      "analyzer": {

        },
        "search_ngram":{
          "type": "custom",
          "tokenizer": "uax_url_email",
          "filter": "lowercase"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Any way to avoid this? Thanks.
