Hi all,

I hope someone would be able to shed light into the problem I am  
experiencing.

I am having trouble with trying to set the "type" of "params" in a  
script, so that they match the type in the mapping.

## For the following type mapping:

{  
"book": {  
"properties": {  
"FileName": { "filter": ["lowercase"], "type": "string" },  
"Members": { "type": "long", "null\_value": 0, "store" : "yes" },  
"Blacklist": { "type": "long", "null\_value": 0, "store" :  
"yes" }  
}  
}  
}

## I use the following script in a query:

"script": {  
"script": "(((doc['Members'] & fieldValue)!=0) AND  
((doc['Blacklist'] & fieldValue)==0))",  
"params": { "fieldValue": -1 }  
}

## I kept on getting type mismatch error.

RuntimeException[could not perform numeric operation on non-numeric  
types: left-  
type=org.elasticsearch.index.field.data.longs.LongDocFieldData; right-  
type=java.lang.Integer [vals  
(org.elasticsearch.index.field.data.longs.LongDocFieldData@1e91c40,  
-1) operation=BIT\_AND (opcode:6) ]]

Never mind, I had solved the issue.

for those who might had the same issue,  
the mapping should just state:

"Members": { "type": "integer"}

I am not sure that this is your problem, I think the problem is: doc['field\_name'].value (note calling value at the end).
