support field type and mapping settings in elasticsearch #166

Closed phyank closed 3 years ago

field types and mapping strategy are crucial in some use cases. for example, a string field can either be typed as "text" or "keyword". fields of different types and mapping response differently to searching request.

for a standalone elasticsearch, we can set the field types and mapping settings when creating or reindexing an index. but for neo4j-to-elasticsearch, I have no idea how the plugin control the settings and how can I preset it. The related chapter of document seems to be absent.

NOTE that the "mapping" mentioned above is not "the conversion from neo4j nodes to elastic documents" but "the way a document is stored and indexed in elasticsearch". Both of the concepts are called mapping.
