Mapping problem

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I have a json object with an optional list of link objects with an href and
couple of optional fields such as type:

{"tags":[{"href":"http:...."}], "anotherfield":"foo"}

That works fine and I can do term queries on tags.href, which is what I
want.

However, some of my objects don't have tags and in that case the tags field
is not there. In that case I get a

{"error":"Bad request {"error":"MapperParsingException[object mapping
for [post] with array for [tags] tried to parse as array, but got EOF, is
there a mismatch in types for the same field?]","status":400}"}

The mapping for this field is as follows

"tags": {
"properties": {
"href": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not_analyzed",
"omit_norms": true,
"index_options": "docs"
},
"type": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not_analyzed",
"omit_norms": true,
"index_options": "docs"
}
}
}

Is there a way to solve this with my mapping or do I have to provide an
empty tags array?

Hey Jilles,

I couldnt reproduce the problem with the information available. Can you
provide a gist and the ES version you are using? Are you maybe mixing up
types somewhere (one where this mapping is defined, one where it is not?
Just a rough guess, without being able to look deeper now)

Hi,

I spend the morning debugging and found the problem. Some of my test code
was putting an object where a string was supposed to go. So, pilot error
:-). But thanks for replying.
