how to know mapping is dynamic or manually define ?

Using http://host:9200/_index/_mapping we can get mapping of _index.

But is there any way to know whether mapping is defined automatically or manually?

The reason to ask about this is because of the following link. type date is been covert to text in elasticsearch (v5.4.0)

thanks.

If you don't add a mapping for a field on index generation, the dynamic mapping will be used to get one. My skilled eye recognizes this pattern for dynamic mapping creation, which is used for all text fields:

  "sid": {
            "type": "text",
            "fields": {
              "keyword": {
                "type": "keyword",
                "ignore_above": 256
              }
            }
