## Hi, I have this problem with some objects, but I can`t figure out why. Indexing to the REST API using jersey and through the java api I get the same thing. Maybe it`s easy for some of you to see what I`m doing wrong?

This usually happens when you index a document which has a json field, and  
then in another document, it becomes an object. If not, can you gist a  
recreation?
