Using an Elasticsearch template file from $ES_HOME/config/templates does not allow me to specify a custom analyzer.

add_doc.sh

curl -XPOST http://localhost:9200/test/thing/1 -d '{
  "something": "/hello/world"

error.json

{"error":"MapperParsingException[mapping [_default_]]; nested: MapperParsingException[Analyzer [url_path_analyzer] not found for field [something]]; ","status":400}
