Hi, does anyone know how to solve the following exception?

../config/default-mapping.json  
{  
"_default_" : {  
}  
}

* * *

curl -XPUT '127.0.0.1:9200/mapperparsingexception/serializevalue/1' -d  
'{  
"serializevalue": [  
{  
"file": 1  
},  
[  
"file.name",  
"1"  
]  
]  
}'

{"error":"MapperParsingException[object mapping [serializevalue]  
trying to serialize a value with no field associated with it, current  
value [file.name]]","status":400}

you wrote "file.name", "1"  
You should write something like "file.name": "1"

"field":"value"

thanks,

curl -XPUT '127.0.0.1:9200/mapperparsingexception/serializevalue/1' -d '{  
"serializevalue": [  
{  
"file": 1  
},  
{  
"file.name":"1"  
}  
]  
}'  
{"ok":true,"\_index":"mapperparsingexception","\_type":"serializevalue","\_id":"1","\_version":1}

but, I just want index array type with different core type and object type

## ex:

{  
"target": [  
"string",  
"integer",  
"long",  
"boolean",  
{  
"key": "value"  
},  
[  
"string",  
"boolean"  
]  
]  
}

If I understood what you wrote, I don't think you can as a field can not be seen as two different core type.
