All Implemented Interfaces:

public class PlaceHolderFieldMapper extends FieldMapper
Mapper that is used to map existing fields in legacy indices (older than N-1) that the current version of ES can't access anymore. Mapping these fields is important so that the original mapping can be preserved and proper exception messages can be provided when accessing these fields.
