Just a note to Igor's example. To reproduce the error, run:
Just in case you will stumble upon this again or somebody will find this thread - this error typically indicates that you are trying to index an object into a field that is already mapped as a non-object field (string, for example). It's very easy to reproduce this error by running the following two commands on a newly created index:
$ curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test/item/1' -d '{"securityinfo": "foo bar"}'
$ curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test/item/1' -d '{
"security" : [
{"group" : "1","accesstype" : "1","accesslevel" : "0","gat" : "11"},
{"group" : "2","accesstype" : "1","accesslevel" : "100","gat" : "21"}
]
}'
The first command will cause the field "security" to be mapped as a string, and the second command will cause the error that you encountered.

Hi,
Did the same you did. Empty index, ES0.90RC2. There was no preconfigured mapping.
However,I tried again and guess what: works fine! boink boink.
I tried it yesterday and this morning. With several document layouts and deleting and creating the index each time,and finally it seems to be caused by the fieldname "security". Below you'll see the logentry about the failure.
Well... case closed, i guess. Thnx!
This is what the logfiles say:

Hey,
I have no problems doing your two curl calls with elasticsearch 0.90.RC2 on an empty index. What elasticsearch version are you using? Is there anything in the logfiles you could give us as well?
Do you have a preconfigured mapping, which prevents you from doing the above insert? Can you show us your mapping?

This works:
$ curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test/item/1' -d '{
"title" : "item 1",
"securityinfo" : [

{"group" : "2","accesstype" : "1","accesslevel" : "100","gat" : "21"}

}'
No change the fieldname "securityinfo" into "security".
$ curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test/item/1' -d '{
"title" : "item 1",
"security" : [
{"group" : "1","accesstype" : "1","accesslevel" : "0","gat" : "11"},
{"group" : "2","accesstype" : "1","accesslevel" : "100","gat" : "21"}
]
}'
This fails with the following error:
{
error: "MapperParsingException[failed to parse [security]]; nested: ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[unknown property [group]]; "
status: 400
}
Obscure isn't it?
