I am using **Elasticsearch** with the help of **Jest Api** for storing my data into Elasticsearch and also for retrieval purpose.when i am putting my data into Elasticsearch its stored properly but when i am trying to retrieve my data and to display into **Jsp** form i am getting error after debug i found that in my Elasticsearch json data there is map keyword is available for nested object which causes i am getting error.while in Elasticsearch dosumentation didn't get this keyword anywhere.
**Below is sample json code on which you can see map object-**

```

{  
"\_source":{  
"map":{  
"approvalStatus":{  
"map":{  
"statusId":2,  
"jobDescription":{

```
           },
           "status":"approval"
                 }
         }
     }
 }

```

}  
So Please resolve my issue.  
Thanks
