Store field as text and keyword in 7.3

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I've recently migrated from 6.8 to 7.3 and noticed an apparent different in how Elasticsearch is handling my templates.
Here's an excerpt from my index template:

    {
     "index_patterns": ["xxx-*"],
     "settings": {
       "number_of_shards": 1,
       "number_of_replicas": 1
     },
     "mappings": {
       "doc": {
         "properties": {
           "message": {
             "type": "text",
             "fields": {
               "keyword": {
                 "type": "keyword",
                 "ignore_above": 30000
               }
             }
           },
           "LAT-LONG": {
             "type": "text",
             "fields": {
               "keyword": {
                 "type": "geo_point"
               }
               
             }
           }
         }
       } 
     }
    }

Under 6.8, this resulted in the "message" field being stored as both message and message.keyword, and the "LAT-LONG" was stored as both LAT-LONG and LAT-LONG.keyword. Now, in 7.3, the ".keyword" fields are not being created. Is there something I need to change?

I'm not sure why you would want to store the original LAT_LONG value as text, just have it as a geo_point.

However I just tested this on 7.8, and it worked as per the mapping you provided.
