Heka is not responsible for mappings in Elasticsearch. Heka doesn’t create the 
mappings, that’s a property of the dynamic schema in Elasticsearch. I highly 
recommend using an Elasticsearch index template to solve your problem. Here’s a 
simple example:

curl -XPOST "$ES_URL/_template/event" -d '
{
  "order": 0,
  "template": "event-*",
  "settings": {
    "index.number_of_shards": “5"
  },
  "mappings": {
    "_default_": {
      "properties": {
        “nameOfMyUnanalyzedProperty": {
          "type": “string”,
          “index”: “not_analyzed"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "aliases": {}
}
‘

You can find more information here: 
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html
 
<https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html>
 . Note, you will need to drop your existing indexes because their schema is 
already determine to be analyzed.

Here’s a more complicated example… something I wish I was given a while ago! 
This example disables analysis on all strings fields but turns on geo_point for 
one named property.

curl -XPOST "$ES_URL/_template/event" -d '
{
  "order": 0,
  "template": "event-*",
  "settings": {
    "index.number_of_shards": "1"
  },
  "mappings": {
    "_default_": {
      "dynamic_templates": [
        {
          "strings": {
            "match_mapping_type": "string",
            "mapping": {
              "index": "not_analyzed",
              "type": "string"
            }
          }
        }
      ],
      "properties": {
        "abcGeoCoords": {
          "type": "geo_point",
          "geohash_prefix": true,
          "geohash_precision": "1m"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "aliases": {}
}

Hope this helps.
