Hello all,  
I am trying to query to a long type data but its seems that its doesn't work, for example if the number :1.5035830264843164 is set to a long, and i am trying to query that field with the "get" func. its giving me:  
{  
"took": 3,  
"timed\_out": false,  
"\_shards": {  
"total": 5,  
"successful": 5,  
"failed": 0  
},  
"hits": {  
"total": 0,  
"max\_score": null,  
"hits":   
}  
}

Why is that and how can i query long type fields?  
thanks!

I am not sure I understand the question or the problem. If you store something as a long, why do you want to query it as a float? Also please provide full reproductions, so people can follow your examples more easily, I have no idea what the query you did looked like (an exact query will likely not match, a range query however might have been).
