Default Mappings

[BubDZombie]

Allow for the creation of mappings that will be inherited when new indices are created, specifically when an index PUT request is made for an index that doesn't exist yet.

I just wanted to clarify if this issue still holds true and if there is any intention to fix it.

Say I have a default mappings file that specifies a field called "content" and I also create a mappings file for an index called "posts" that does not define a "content" property. Is true that if I index a document that contains the property "content" to the "posts" index the default mappings definition of this "content" property will be ignored?

@saden1 if you will define a property called "content" in the default mapping, this property will be added automatically for every mapping that doesn't define it.

This issue is addressed with Index and Dynamic Templates. Closing.
