This problem is really strange because my data has two long fields, and my  
search/filter works for one of them but not the other.

Even weirder, I tried to create a curl reproducer for this with the exact  
same data and that works fine!

Details here:

> <https://gist.github.com/EricWittmann/86864fd897a6f7496fd4>

That shows the mapping of the auditEntry document type. It then shows two  
queries, the first using "id" as the sort. This query fails with:

"QueryPhaseExecutionException[[apiman\_manager][0]:  
query[ConstantScore(cache(\_type:auditEntry))],from[0],size[20],sort[\<custom:  
"id":  
org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.fieldcomparator.LongValuesComparatorSource@730c1326\>!]:  
Query Failed [Failed to execute main query]]; nested:  
ClassCastException[org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.AtomicFieldData$WithOrdinals$1  
cannot be cast to org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.AtomicNumericFieldData];  
"

The second is the same query but sorting on "createdOn". This query seems  
to work fine.

Any help appreciated!

PS: Originally found this using ES 1.3.2, but also tested using 1.3.8.

Also note: I'm using the java TransportClient to index the documents. I  
get the ClassCast problem when querying using the TransportClient, but I  
_also_ get the error when querying  
using [http://localhost:9200/\_plugin/marvel/sense/index.html](http://localhost:9200/_plugin/marvel/sense/index.html).

fwiw
