A document in my Elasticsearch cluster has a field whose type conflicts with the mapping for that index. In this case, the mapping type is keyword, whereas the value of the field in the document is an integer.

The field in question in the mapping:

```auto
$ curl -sS localhost:9200/indexname/_mapping | jq '.indexname.mappings.properties.foo.properties.should_be_keyword.type'
"keyword"

```

The field in question in the document (note truncated integer value):

```auto
$ curl -sS localhost:9200/indexname/_search -H 'Content-type: application/json' -d '{"query":{"term":{"_id":"1ae3f3cd-0741-4977-ae4b-358033810e28"}}}' | jq '.hits.hits[0]._source.foo.should_be_keyword'
1364401746309800000

```

Can anyone explain this behavior?
