I mapping `geoip.location` to geo\_point, but after I reboot ES, Kibana claims the type of `geoip.location` confilcts.  
I checked my mapping carefully by `curl -XGET http://127.0.0.1:9200/logstash-2015.10.12/_mapping/?pretty`, but I can't find anything wrong.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I checked it again and find:

```
          "geoip" : {
            "dynamic" : "true",
            "properties" : {
              "location" : {
                "type" : "geo_point"
              }
            }
          },
          "geoip.location" : {
            "type" : "string",
            "norms" : {
              "enabled" : false
            },
            "fields" : {
              "raw" : {
                "type" : "string",
                "index" : "not_analyzed",
                "ignore_above" : 256
              }
            }
          },

```

Dose these two mappings are conflict?
