Hello everyone,

I have been working with the dynamic mapping of Elasticsearch for some time  
now and so far dynamic mapping worked fine: the schema of my documents  
differ a lot with respect to the type. For instance, sometimes a certain  
field is of type object and sometimes of type array. As far as I know that  
is no problem, there will be a mapping issue, but the document gets indexed  
anyway. That was the case until now.

Not anymore. I use Elasticsearch v0.9.0 The problem in this thread of the  
mailing list describes the similar problem  
[http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Having-trouble-with-MappingParserExceptions-any-ideas-td4024909.html](http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Having-trouble-with-MappingParserExceptions-any-ideas-td4024909.html)

It hints that the reason could be the buffer? Unfortunately there is no  
answer. Errors are like the following  
{"error":"MapperParsingException[failed to parse [record.resources.hash]];  
nested: ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[unknown property [content]];  
","status":400}  
It seems fine, because apparently the mapping is not compatible here. But  
so far ES was always able to index it anyway. I have written a cURL  
recreation

The result is:

{"error":"MapperParsingException[failed to parse [record.date]]; nested:  
MapperParsingException[failed to parse date field [}], tried both date  
format [dateOptionalTime], and timestamp number]; nested:  
IllegalArgumentException[Invalid format: "}"]; ","status":400}

Which I do not understand, as there is no record.date field. Moreover it  
seems like this is invalid JSON, but it is not. I have parsed it through  
several JSON parser.

Is there a way to index the documents anyway? Can I circumvent the mapping,  
as in deactivate the mapping exceptions? What other approach can I take  
here, I am really stuck.

Best,  
Konrad
