If you configure a mapping using YAML, and you use the documented value  
"no," but neglect to quote it, the value gets converted to a boolean  
false, and this isn't recognized in TypeParsers.parseIndex. Example:

meta\_ss:  
type: string  
index: "no"  
store: true

works OK, but

meta\_ss:  
type: string  
index: no  
store: true

does not

seems like a bug to me ...
