Hi guys , i use XContentBuilder as a source of Index Request to store my biz data, like this  
jsonBuilder()  
.startObject()  
.field("table", Constants.ES\_IDX\_REPAYMENT)  
.field("nation", repayment.getNation())  
.field("amount", repayment.getAmount())  
.endObject();  
i find the BigDecimal property repayment.getAmount() saved into ES as a string type field , but this property saved into ES 6.7 version is number type field.  
How to make up this issue?
