Hello,

Since I've been able to get LS 1.5.1 working with ES 1.6.0 and kibana 4 it ran for a few weeks without complaint.

But today I noticed that when I do a search in Kibana, there are no results.. Unless I use the time picker to select a time period from yesterday.

If I restart logstash it'll run for about an hour and a half or so before it stops returning results to the Kibana web interface. And when I take a look at the LS logs, this is what I'm seeing that probably relates to the problem:

```

{:timestamp=>"2015-07-07T12:41:52.498000-0400", :message=>"Got error to send bulk of actions: no method 'type' for arguments (org.jruby.RubyArray) on Java::OrgElasticsearchActionIndex::IndexRequest", :level=>:error
}

```

What could the problem really be? And how do we resolve it?

Thanks
