 By default, {es} provides {ref}/docs-index_.html[automatic index and mapping] when data is added under an index that has not been created before. In other words, data can be added into {es} without the index and the mappings being defined a priori. This is quite convenient since {es} automatically adapts to the data being fed to it - moreover, if certain entries have extra fields, {es} schema-less nature allows them to be indexed without any issues.

-It is important to remember that automatic mapping uses the payload values to identify its {ref}/mapping.html#mapping-type[type], using the *first document* creates the mapping. {eh} communicates with {es} through JSON which does not provide any type information, rather only the field names and their values. One can think of it as 'type erasure' or information loss; for example JSON does not differentiate integer numeric types - `byte`, `short`, `int`, `long` are all placed in the same `long` 'bucket'. this can have unexpected side-effects since the type information is _guessed_ such as:
