Hi,  
I'm insert amounts from spark to elastic for consult from elastic.  
The amounts are well inserted but in kibana this values can´t use as amounts for make metrics (sum, max, medians...).  
The code in spark is this:

```
val df2 = df.select(...,
    col("principal_amount").as("Principal amount"),...)
df2.saveToEs("payments_spark")

```

And in Elastic the type of this field is float:

Can you do the field again but without spaces in the name? They tent to cause unwanted problems and than might be the issue here.

The problem had solved when I deleted the Index Pattern and insert data again.
