Using properties of a field in another or recursive mapping

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,
I have a mapping which uses a recursive structure.
Eg :

{
  "mappings": {
    "test": {
      "properties": {
"**example**": {
          "type": "nested",
          "properties": {
            "description": {
              "type": "text",
              "fields": {
                "keyword": {
                  "type": "keyword",
                  "ignore_above": 256
                }
              }
            },
            "name": {
              "type": "text",
              "fields": {
                "keyword": {
                  "type": "keyword",
                  "ignore_above": 256
                }
              }
            },
            "**next**":{
              "type":"example"
            }
          }
        }
}
}
}
}

Here the type next have a recursive structure and have the same properties of the field example . How to write the schema mapping for this kind of recursive fields.

Very deeply nested document structures can be quite inefficient. What is the problem you are trying to solve here? What is your use-case?
