Hi all and sorry for my poor english. I'm using docker [docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.1](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.1) paired with spring data elasticsearch. The issue does not involve spring for sure. When I try any kind of operation on docker elastic I got **lasticsearch exception [type=json\_parse\_exception, reason=Current token (VALUE\_NUMBER\_INT) not of boolean type** My entity is completely defined as text fields. Please helps ---

Could you provide a sample project, classes... which could help to understand what you are doing? Also please use a more recent version. At least the latest 6.8 or better 7.9.2. ---

I gave a first look. When using springboot with elasticsearch, you need to be explicit with some transitive dependencies as SpringBoot declares a version 6.4... Basically you can put this in your `pom.xml`: ```auto 7.9.2 ``` See documentation here: [https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto.html#howto-customize-dependency-versions](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto.html#howto-customize-dependency-versions) I'd not start a new project with 6.8.12 but I'd prefer 7.9.2. Could you update your project so you are using all the most recent versions? ---
