# Elasticsearch: index mappings and field types

## When to use

Use this skill for index mappings and field types in Elasticsearch. This skill
specifically handles index mappings and field types and nothing else in the
Elasticsearch family.

## Procedure

Design explicit mappings, pick field types (keyword vs text), configure multi-fields, and avoid mapping explosions.

## Notes

This is the Elasticsearch skill dedicated to index mappings and field types.
Sibling skills cover other Elasticsearch capabilities; this one
is the right choice only when the task is about index mappings and field types.
