Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! You made my day. :)
A mapping is a schema definition that contains the names and data types of the fields of an index. It also contains information about how the fields should be indexed and stored by Lucene. Mappings map your complex JSON documents into the simple flat documents that Lucene expects.
It is a bit hard to explain how mapping works in a reply thread here. lol This Elastic documentation on mapping is a great place to get started: elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/...

Hey @Rex Anthony! I recently did a workshop on Mapping and thought of you. Here is the link to the video and the repo just in case you need further explanation on mapping!
