Could you provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible. A full reproduction script will help readers to understand, reproduce and if needed fix your problem. It will also most likely help to get a faster answer. Most likely you already inserted data with a `text` type but want now a more complex object. ---

I have created a new Index to store the data, So I have not stored any previous data of text type in the same index. ---

As I said: > Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible. So you don't need to upload your full document. > I have created a new Index to store the data, So I have not stored any previous data of text type in the same index. So you mean that you ran: ```auto DELETE testing_resumes PUT testing_resumes/_doc/1 { "resume": { // ... } } ``` And that's all? I doubt it's the case. ---

Yes you are right. ---

I ran the script which you have mentioned above. ---

Unless you have an index template I don't see how this error can happen. Please share a full script that reproduces the problem on [gist.github.com](http://gist.github.com) ---

Actually I have same field more than once but with different format, which throws the error, So my doubt is can we create multiple mapping like it accepts any format, or can I create an index independent of any mapping? ---
