I am trying to return a mongodb document from elasticsearch. The document is being returned but the arrays are always empty e.g.

```
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/smartjn/feed_details/_search?q=_id:577905710baf751293410bed&pretty=true'
{
  "took" : 3,
  "timed_out" : false,
  "_shards" : {
    "total" : 5,
    "successful" : 5,
    "failed" : 0
  },
  "hits" : {
    "total" : 1,
    "max_score" : 1.0,
    "hits" : [ {
      "_index" : "smartjn",
      "_type" : "feed_details",
      "_id" : "577905710baf751293410bed",
      "_score" : 1.0,
      "_source" : {
        "rejectionId" : "",
        "image" : [],
        "subward" : "56a6124244fc868a255fe3fe",
        "longi" : "72.8179",
        "subDepartment" : "Environment",
        "vote" : 0,
        "workFlowType" : "Event",
        "wardname" : "Dhokali",
        "title" : "Test Feed for MassUpload :925",
        "approvalStatus" : "approved",
        "adminFlag" : "1",
        "userID" : "superadmin",
        "uniquerefno" : "ED3488",
        "department" : "Social Causes",
        "upVoteUserIds" : [],
        "feedStatusDescription" : "03-07-2016 18:00:41",
        "description" : "Test Feed Description for MassUpload :925",
        "sorter" : "2016-07-03T18:00:40.812000",
        "downVoteUserIds" : [],
        "muteFeedUserIds" : [],
        "lat" : "18.35367",
        "dateCreated" : "03-07-2016 18:00:41",
        "muteUserIds" : [],
        "followFeedUserIds" : [],
        "feedStatus" : "New",
        "externalRefNo" : "",
        "anonymousFlag" : "0",
        "downVote" : 0
      }
    } ]
  }
}

```

Same document in mongodb returns all fields correct:

```
rs0:PRIMARY> db.feed_details.find({_id : ObjectId("577905710baf751293410bed")}).pretty()
{
        "_id" : ObjectId("577905710baf751293410bed"),
        "department" : "Social Causes",
        "subDepartment" : "Environment",
        "workFlowType" : "Event",
        "lat" : "18.35367",
        "longi" : "72.8179",
        "title" : "Test Feed for MassUpload :925",
        "description" : "Test Feed Description for MassUpload :925",
        "image" : [],
        "userID" : "superadmin",
        "anonymousFlag" : "0",
        "approvalStatus" : "approved",
        "dateCreated" : "03-07-2016 18:00:41",
        "feedStatus" : "New",
        "vote" : 1,
        "downVote" : 0,
        "rejectionId" : "",
        "feedStatusDescription" : "03-07-2016 18:00:41",
        "followFeedUserIds" : [
                "5734236844fc869a32793b7f"
        ],
        "muteFeedUserIds" : [
                "5734236844fc869a32793b7f"
        ],
        "muteUserIds" : [],
        "externalRefNo" : "",
        "subward" : "56a6124244fc868a255fe3fe",
        "upVoteUserIds" : [
                "5734236844fc869a32793b7f"
        ],
        "downVoteUserIds" : [],
        "uniquerefno" : "ED3488",
        "adminFlag" : "1",
        "sorter" : ISODate("2016-07-03T18:00:40.812Z"),
        "wardname" : "Dhokali"
}

```

Any idea what am I missing?

Thanks

Elasticsearch never modifies your source document.  
So you see what you indexed.

I don't know this project. You have to ask its author I guess?
