About field routing and integer type

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,

I just set up one index with field routing with some test data. It stores
properly with some test data.
I could see they consistently fall to the same shard with the same field
value.

However, the type of the field is integer (account_id), the method
.setRouting() takes integer as input.
when I attempt to add .setRouting(""+account_id) it returned me nothing..
(but some other random routing
could reach those shard).

how should I construct the routing correctly from an integer value?.. does
this mean field routing have to be a string type?

Thank you.
