the mapping in my index have changed

before

```
 "beat": {
            "properties": {
              "hostname": {
                "type": "text",
                "fields": {
                  "keyword": {
                    "type": "keyword",
                    "ignore_above": 256
                  }
                }
              },
              "name": {
                "type": "text",
                "fields": {
                  "keyword": {
                    "type": "keyword",
                    "ignore_above": 256
                  }
                }
              },

```

and now

```
"beat": {
            "properties": {
              "hostname": {
                "type": "keyword",
                "ignore_above": 1024
              },
              "name": {
                "type": "keyword",
                "ignore_above": 1024
              },
              "version": {
                "type": "keyword",
                "ignore_above": 1024
              }
            }

```

how is it possible ? how can i repair that ?  
i have changed the default compression to "best\_compression", is it the cause ?
