Hello, I want to perform a task which requires below activities: 1. Override "xyz" record with the new "xyz" record completely (avoid update/merging) in the existing document. 2. New "xyz" record structure could be different. Therefore I am preferring to override it with its key name. I used "new IndexRequest(indexName).id(docId).source(sourceMap, XContentType.JSON)", with below combination: - When tried to pass "xyz" as JSONObject got error "cannot write xcontent for unknown value of type class org.json.JSONObject" - When tried to pass "xyz" as JsonString got error "tried to parse field [xyz] as object, but found a concrete value" - When tried to pass "xyz" as JsonBytes got error "tried to parse field [xyz] as object, but found a concrete value" - When tried to pass "xyz" as DTO got error "tried to parse field [xyz] as object, but found a concrete value" Could someone please assist me in this? Thanks, Pradeep Pawar ---
