Hi!

We are migrating from ES 0.20.6 to 0.90 and we found the following problem:  
If the "highlight" section of a searh query contains a field of type  
"long", an error occurs. That didn't happen with the old version.  
This is a sample script I used to test this behaviour:

curl -s -o /dev/null -X DELETE "http://${hostname}:9200/test?pretty"

curl -s -o /dev/null -X PUT "http://${hostname}:9200/test/?pretty" -d '  
{  
"mappings" : {  
"test1" : {  
"properties" : {  
"text" : {  
"store": "yes",  
"type": "string"  
}  
}  
},  
"test2" : {  
"properties" : {  
"text" : {  
"store": "yes",  
"type": "string"  
},  
"number" : {  
"store": "yes",  
"type": "long"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
'

curl -s -o /dev/null -X POST "http://${hostname}:9200/test/test1?pretty" -d  
'  
{  
"text" : "test one"  
}  
'

curl -s -o /dev/null -X POST "http://${hostname}:9200/test/test2?pretty" -d  
'  
{  
"text" : "test two",  
"number" : 100  
}  
'

curl -s -o /dev/null -X POST "http://${hostname}:9200/test1/\_refresh"  
curl -s -o /dev/null -X POST "http://${hostname}:9200/test2/\_refresh"

sleep 3

curl -s -X GET "http://${hostname}:9200/test/\_search?pretty" -d '  
{  
"query": {  
"prefix": {  
"text": "test"  
}  
},  
"highlight": {  
"number\_of\_fragments": 0,  
"fields": {  
"text": {},  
"number": {}  
}  
}

}'

If you run it against an elasticsearch 0.20.6 server, it returns the two  
hits, correctly highlighted.  
However, if you run it against an elasticsearch 0.90 server, this happens:

{  
"took" : 6,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 5,  
"successful" : 4,  
"failed" : 1,  
"failures" : [ {  
"index" : "test",  
"shard" : 0,  
"status" : 500,  
"reason" : "_FetchPhaseExecutionException_[[test][0]:  
query[text:test\*],from[0],size[10]: Fetch Failed [Failed to highlight field  
[number]]]; nested: StringIndexOutOfBoundsException[String index out of  
range: -1]; "  
} ]  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 2,  
"max\_score" : 1.0,  
"hits" : [ {  
"\_index" : "test",  
"\_type" : "test1",  
"\_id" : "y51XzuuaQ6uYnigzhq5EtA",  
"\_score" : 1.0, "\_source" :  
{  
"text" : "test one"  
}  
,  
"highlight" : {  
"text" : ["_test_ one"]  
}  
} ]  
}  
}

Can anybody tell me why this happens? Thanks in advance!

Guillermo Arias del Río.
