We have a json structure that may have a deleted in several places. With no 
explicit mapping, if I post this:


POST /test/fooo/1
{
  "properties":{
    "deleted":true
  }
}

and then query for

GET /test/fooo/_search
{
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "deleted": {
        "value": true
      }
    }
  }
}

I get an unexpected match. Basically there is no top level deleted field 
(which is what I'm querying for) but there is a properties.deleted field 
and the term query falls back to that.

If I add another document to the index with a top level deleted field, it 
starts behaving as expected. I guess once the field is in the mapping, it 
works as expected.

Is there a way to disable this opportunistic form of matching fields in the 
mapping? I'd rather have it fail with an error that the field is missing in 
the mapping (which is the fix I guess) than silently fallback to another 
field. I still like to use dynamic mappings (i.e. I don't want to disable 
that).
