Hello everyone, I am trying to send a JSON to ElasticSearch but it fails with a strange Jackson error : ``` $ curl -s -L -o file.json ``` [https://gist.github.com/Filirom1/666228afa43bcf46c3d4/raw/ce4352f1ec2a7b1af606907da44bc2bd55db7df6/file.json](https://gist.github.com/Filirom1/666228afa43bcf46c3d4/raw/ce4352f1ec2a7b1af606907da44bc2bd55db7df6/file.json) ``` $ curl -XPOST localhost:9200/toto/toto -d '@file.json' {"error":"MapperParsingException[failed to parse ``` [model.moduleScores.module.smart\_typed\_number\_ponderation]]; nested: JsonParseException[Current token (END\_OBJECT) not numeric, can not use numeric value accessors\n at [Source: [B@10c042ab; line: 1, column: 29238]]; ","status":400} The column 29238 correspond to } in the following sentence : ``` ..."smart_typed_number_ponderation":100}],... ``` Clearly Jackson is surprised to see }, it wants a number.

just for information, we found the orgin of error. in the same object being indexed (a very large object) there was a smart\_typed\_number\_ponderation field already in the same scope (inside an array of objects). That field contains a null value. it seems that hence ES has mapped this field as an object and it dosn't like to see a number instead.

Hi! You are describing the reason for always creating a mapping for each index, each document type within the index, and each field within each document type. If you don't do this, Elasticsearch guesses. And it does not always have enough information to guess correctly. For example, some of my applications hold a phone number and we want them to be stored as strings and not long integers (for several reasons). Of course, [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/) is a good place to start.
