Hi Shay I have a few documents like this, where there is quite a bit of nesting: [https://gist.github.com/668649](https://gist.github.com/668649) The indexing of this document fails and error is at [https://gist.github.com/668672](https://gist.github.com/668672) I tested against 0.12.1. Any idea what could be the problem? Thanks Diptamay ---

Do you have any explicit mappings defined?

Thanks for the fix. I shall check it out. No I did not have any explicit mappings defined. Cheers!
