Hi, I'm currently working on the elasticsearch migration from v2.4 to v7.5.

In v2.4, there is field property like this:

```auto
custom_key_field: {
    "type": "text",
    "index": "no"
}

```

What does `"index": "no"` means? Is it similar to the `not_analyzed` ?

This is no longer supported in the elasticsearch v7.5. What alternative should I use for this?

Have a look at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/breaking\_50\_mapping\_changes.html#\_literal\_index\_literal\_property](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/breaking_50_mapping_changes.html#_literal_index_literal_property)
