Index in elasticsearch have dynamic feilds  
For example I have following mapping  
"Person\_ID": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"First\_name": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"last\_name": {  
"type": "string"  
}

Some documents have last\_name , Some documents doesn't have last name  
When I query from Hive last\_name is always returned as null for every document

Hive external table defination is  
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE elasticsearch ( Person\_ID STRING, First\_name String , last\_name String)  
STORED BY 'org.elasticsearch.hadoop.hive.EsStorageHandler'  
TBLPROPERTIES('es.nodes' = '123.456.789.111', 'es.port' = '9200', 'es.resource' = 'person/data','es.query' = '?q=\*');

Any help will be appreciated

Could you provide some trace level logging for the job workers over a limited dataset? This should highlight the actual responses the connector is getting from the framework, and help debug the issue.
