Hello, I am trying to create mapping for the array of objects:  
"my\_vector" : [  
{  
"my\_id": "2c5f056d-4ab9-4aff-85b6-be16a6d26fb2",  
"my\_name": "test1",  
"my\_value": [  
{  
"name": "state",  
"value": 0,  
"cc\_value": 0.81  
},  
{  
"name": "test2",  
"value": 0,  
"cc\_value": 0.71  
}  
]  
}  
I used map "my\_vector":{"type": "keyword"} to create index with mappings, but when I try to create type with real data, i have the following error:  
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"failed to parse [my\_vector]"}],"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"failed to parse [my\_vector]","caused\_by":{"type":"illegal\_state\_exception","reason":"Can't get text on a START\_OBJECT at 1:83"}}  
What the mapping for array should look like? Thanks....
