Can't use _all index with Kibana 4.1.1

Elastic Stack Kibana
#1

I am using Elasticsearch 1.7.1. I'm using Tribe Node with three clusters.
I can query the _all index using curl on the Tribe Node:
curl http://localhost:9200/_all/_search?pretty
But I can't query the _all index from Kibana 4.1.1

To add the _all index to Kibana, I went to Settings->Indicies, unchecked all of the boxes on the "Configure an index pattern" form and added _all to the "Index name or pattern" form field. Kibana was happy with that, until I go to Discover. There I get:
Discover: An error occurred with your request. Reset your inputs and try again.

#2

Any additional errors in Elasticsearch or Kibana logs? Any errors in developer console in Chrome?

#3

Here are the elasticsearch log messages. I didn't see anything interesting in the Kibana logs. I'll add the Chrome developer console messages in another post.

From the elasticsearch log:

Thanks for the console output @scaissie.

Unfortunately it doesn't really discuss what happened in the request to cause it to fail. Can you find the _msearch request in the network tab for this request and copy/paste the response from elasticsearch here?

#6

The response:
{"responses":[{"error":"ReduceSearchPhaseException[Failed to execute phase [query], [reduce] ]; nested: ClassCastException[java.lang.Long cannot be cast to org.apache.lucene.util.BytesRef]; "}]}

#7

I am facing the same issue. The response I get in the Network console is :

{"responses":[{"error":"ReduceSearchPhaseException[Failed to execute phase [query], [reduce] ]; nested: ClassCastException; "}]}

I am trying to query a type in the logstash index in Kibana using _type:"aaa" query. It is working for some of the other types I have in the same index _type:"bbb". Pls guide

This worked for me https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4593
