On ES 0.90.5, I have this error [https://gist.github.com/osssubb/6774414](https://gist.github.com/osssubb/6774414)coming up in the logs. While this error came up I had this as my ES template: [https://gist.github.com/osssubb/6740562](https://gist.github.com/osssubb/6740562). The new logs that came in today had time-format as 'Oct 1 01:45:01'. Please notice that there are 2 spaces between 'Oct' and '1'. While in my ES template, I've defined date-format as 'MMM dd HH:mm:ss' where there is only a single space between the last alphabet of the month and first digit of the date. I thought this might be the reason for error and: (i) I changed the mapping of date of the aforementioned ES-template to: "date": { "type": "date", "format": "MMM dd HH:mm:ss||MMM d HH:mm:ss", "index": "analyzed" }. Same errors still came up. (ii) I deleted the whole mapping-template and re-started ES without any mapping at all. The error still persisted. Please advise on how to solve this.

Infact, (i) did solve the issue. I was not seeing the changes reflected suddenly since ES was still writing to the old index which was created when the old mapping was in effect. When new indexes got created, the new mappings kicked in and the errors were no more.
