Hi Guys, I'm still familiarizing myself in Elasticsearch, Right now, I am experimenting on analyzers but when I finished the mapping and started the indexing, it gives me this error:

`type: 'parse_exception'reason: 'unknown key [actor] for create index'`

I attached images for reference.

Any help would be appreciated

Mapping:
