This works fine in 0.10.0 but throws exception for any json query  
string in 0.11.0:

```
        String jsonQuery = '{"range":{"duration": {"from":"20",

```

"to":"40"}}}'  
def search =  
node.client().prepareSearch("test").setQuery(jsonQuery.getBytes()).execute().actionGet();

In 0.10.0, call to buildAsUnsafeBytes(XContentType.JSON) is using  
content type of JSON by default.  
In 0.11.0, call to  
sourceBuilder.buildAsUnsafeBytes(Requests.CONTENT\_TYPE) is using  
content type of SMILE by default.

If I set Requests.CONTENT\_TYPE = XContentType.JSON before  
SearchRequestBuilder.execute() call it works as expected.

Seems like there is a possible problem in the smile generator when it comes  
to binary values. Will track it down.
