David and Tim: Thanks for the quick feedback. It turns out that Tim was correct in that ES was dropping the invalid attributes from my custom mapping. Thanks for pointing that out and for providing a reference to the mapping core types guide (very useful). I'm quickly getting my feet wet with ES and will likely run into more issues like this in the future. I appreciate the help.
