Ignore_malformed doesn't work?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I'm using 5.2.2 and have set my index's settings.index.mapping.ignore_malformed to true (I have verified this) and yet when I index a document I get a document rejected because it tries to put an object where it's expecting a string.

Does ignore_malformed only work for some cases?

Best, Dan.

Hey,

indeed it currently only works, if you specify a field that does not contain an inner field, but just a different type. There is already an issue about this https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/12366

You should be able to work around this by setting object: false (but this needs to be done on a per-field base).
