Mapper_parsing_Exception\", \"reason\"=>\"failed to parse field [service] of type [text] in document

[skumarp7]

Hi Team,

Elasticsearch is throwing mapper_parsing_exception when we try to push logs to an index from different applications. As different applications generates logs with same field [whose type might differ], there are few cases where the records are failed to parse the field in the index.

For example:

• Failed to parse field [service]
  Index : test
  Field : service
  Value type expected : text
  Value that was accepted by Elasticsearch: cassandra
  Value that was rejected by Elasticsearch : kind=APIGatewayService, namespace=test, name=test_object, status={status=valid}
  Occurrence of Mapper_parsing_exception: 56 hits (after installation time)

• Failed to parse field [responseObject.status]
  Index : audit
  Field : status
  Value type expected : text
  Actual Value(Rejected by ES) : details=cannot delete , Provisioner response timeout, sum=893981314, id=ba-9c9b-b4c6133f8eb8, status=delete-inprogress
  Occurrence : 72 hits (after installation time)
  Successful value(accepted by ES) : Success / Failure

These are couple of examples and we are facing this issue for other fields as well.
Is the above behavior expected? Is the above approach right? Are there any possible workarounds/suggestions to avoid the above situation?
