NEW ERROR: Hi again. Im updating the main post, to be more visible the problem. Im trying to do context suggest, and in all shard i get the following error: ``` { "_shards": { "total": 5, "successful": 0, "failed": 5, "failures": [ { "index": "app", "shard": 0, "status": 500, "reason": "BroadcastShardOperationFailedException[[app][0] ]; nested: ElasticsearchException[failed to execute suggest]; nested: ElasticsearchParseException[no mapping defined for [users]]; " } } ``` And here the mapping for user: ``` { "app" : { "mappings" : { "users" : { "properties" : { "document" : { "type" : "string" }, "email" : { "type" : "string" }, "first_name" : { "type" : "string" }, "group" : { "type" : "string" }, "last_name" : { "type" : "string" }, "suggest" : { "type" : "completion", "analyzer" : "simple", "payloads" : true, "preserve_separators" : true, "preserve_position_increments" : true, "max_input_length" : 50, "context" : { "users" : { "type" : "category", "path" : "_type", "default" : ["users_active"] } } } } } } } } ``` OLD ERROR: > Hello friends, I have a strange bug happening in my project.

And every dump I did before creating a document is identical for any insertion method. I really don't know what the problem is... ---

Looks like you have a users field inside your json doc. Can you GET a sample doc so we can see how it looks? ---

Hey, thanks for help. Well indeed I find something wrong, and now its creating document correctly. But now created another problem. Im using suggest context, and again only in users I receive this problem. ``` {"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":0,"failed":5,"failures":[{"index":"app","shard":0,"status":500,"reason":"BroadcastShardOperationFailedException[[app][0] ]; nested: ElasticsearchException[failed to execute suggest]; nested: ElasticsearchParseException[no mapping defined for [users]]; "}, ``` And mapping: ``` { "app" : { "mappings" : { "users" : { "properties" : { "document" : { "type" : "string" }, "email" : { "type" : "string" }, "first_name" : { "type" : "string" }, "group" : { "type" : "string" }, "last_name" : { "type" : "string" }, "suggest" : { "type" : "completion", "analyzer" : "simple", "payloads" : true, "preserve_separators" : true, "preserve_position_increments" : true, "max_input_length" : 50, "context" : { "users" : { "type" : "category", "path" : "_type", "default" : ["users_active"] } } } } } } } } ``` and how Im sending params to es client ``` array:1 [ "body" => array:1 [ "app" => array:2 [ "text" => "test" "completion" => array:4 [ "field" => "suggest" "size" => 10 "context" => array:1 [ "users" => "users_active" ] "fuzzy" => array:1 [ "fuzziness" => 2 ] ] ] ] ] ``` and GET ``` { "_index" : "app", "_type" : "users", "_id" : "5641001fbffebcc5098b4567", "_version" : 3, "found" : true, "_source":{"first_name":"joao","last_name":"test","email":"test@test.com","document":"159","group":"Admin","suggest":{"input":["joao","test","joaokmz@gmail.com","159","Admin"],"output":["joao test (joaokmz@gmail.com)"],"context":{"users":"users_active"},"payload":{"id":"5641001fbffebcc5098b4567","extra_info":"Admin"}}} } ``` ---
