-==== Accessing Fields
-
-The multi fields defined in the `fields` are prefixed with the
-name of the main field and can be accessed by their full path using the
-navigation notation: `name.raw`, or using the typed navigation notation
-`tweet.name.raw`. The `path` option allows to control how fields are accessed.
-If the `path` option is set to `full`, then the full path of the main field
-is prefixed, but if the `path` option is set to `just_name` the actual
-multi field name without any prefix is used. The default value for
-the `path` option is `full`.
-
-The `just_name` setting, among other things, allows indexing content of multiple
-fields under the same name. In the example below the content of both fields
-`first_name` and `last_name` can be accessed by using `any_name` or `tweet.any_name`.

-In the above example, the `name1` and `name2` objects within the
-`person` object have different combination of `path` and `index_name`.
-The document fields that will be stored in the index as a result of that
-are:
-
-[cols="<,<",options="header",]
-|=================================
-|JSON Name |Document Field Name
-|`name1`/`first1` |`first1`
-|`name1`/`last1` |`i_last_1`
-|`name2`/`first2` |`name2.first2`
-|`name2`/`last2` |`name2.i_last_2`
-|=================================
-
-Note, when querying or using a field name in any of the APIs provided
-(search, query, selective loading, ...), there is an automatic detection
-from logical full path and into the `index_name` and vice versa. For
-example, even though `name1`/`last1` defines that it is stored with
-`just_name` and a different `index_name`, it can either be referred to
-using `name1.last1` (logical name), or its actual indexed name of
-`i_last_1`.
-
-More over, where applicable, for example, in queries, the full path
-including the type can be used such as `person.name.last1`, in this
-case, both the actual indexed name will be resolved to match against the
-index, and an automatic query filter will be added to only match
-`person` types.
