Does any one know what the following error means?
"error":"MapperParsingException[object mapping for [] tried to
parse as object, but got EOF, has a concrete value been provided to
it?"

Did this happen during search query or during indexing?
Either way I think this is caused by having wrong mapping type (data type)
against the value your are passing to it.
Double check your queries / values you are indexing against the 'data
types' of columns your mapping type.

Thanks Andrew - Turned out to be an array of objects and not all the object attributes were defined in the mapping file.
