I have created following mapping for in ElasticSearch and same is created. But when I add documents to this type, my nested field type changes to normal. So when I execute query on nested object fields,it shows unexpected results while on rest of the fields results are as expected. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. There must be something I am missing while creating nested object mapping.
