 - `auto_restart_interval` - interval (seconds) between automatic db_replicator restart. Default 3600 (1 hour). This is done to reduce memory usage.
 - `indexes` - you may want to add some indexes to accelerate performance, eg. ngram index for full-test search, etc. To apply indexes you need to start replication from scratch.
 - `http_host`, `http_port` - http endpoint to control replication, use `/docs` for abailable commands
+- `types_mappings` - custom types mapping, eg. you can map char(36) to UUID instead of String, etc.
