```
public Mapper(String simpleName)
```
- Method Detail
  - simpleName
```
public final String simpleName()
```
    Returns the simple name, which identifies this mapper against other mappers at the same level in the mappers hierarchy TODO: make this protected once Mapper and FieldMapper are merged together
  - name
```
public abstract String name()
```
    Returns the canonical name which uniquely identifies the mapper against other mappers in a type.
  - typeName
```
public abstract String typeName()
```
    Returns a name representing the type of this mapper.
  - merge
```
public abstract Mapper merge(Mapper mergeWith)
```
    Return the merge of mergeWith into this. Both this and mergeWith will be left unmodified.
  - updateFieldType
```
public abstract Mapper updateFieldType(Map<String,MappedFieldType> fullNameToFieldType)
```
    Update the field type of this mapper. This is necessary because some mapping updates can modify mappings across several types. This method must return a copy of the mapper so that the current mapper is not modified.
