Dynamic mapping numeric field datatypes greater than 2^63 - 1 (long type)

[Anish_Pradhan]

I assume that this is due to the numeric values not accommodated by "long" data type.

How can we handle these numeric values. Example:

doc = [ {
    "node": [{
        "table": [{
          "node-table": {
            "packets-up": 18440044073709951615,
            "packets-down": 18447644073709991615
          }
        }]
      }]
}]

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch

es = Elasticsearch(hosts="localhost:9200")

res = es.indices.create(index="doc")

es.index(index="doc", doc_type='docs', body=doc)

Error:
