Hi Team,  
Greetings...!!!. Hope everyone is safe.  
Consider the following mapping for an index and kindly tell me how many fields are there. I have added the keyword mapping for the field " **my\_string**". So my doubt is the field count is 3(my\_integer,my\_string,my\_string.keyword) or 2(my\_integer,my\_string).

"mappings" : {  
"properties" : {  
"my\_integer" : {  
"type" : "long"  
},  
"my\_string" : {  
"type" : "text",  
"fields" : {  
"keyword" : {  
"type" : "keyword",  
"ignore\_above" : 256  
}  
}  
}  
Please bear with me as it is a silly doubt. Thanks in advance
