just a heads-up for folks who've upgraded to 1.0.x from 0.9x (as did I). It  
appears - and I could be wrong - that field query[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/0.90/query-dsl-field-query.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/0.90/query-dsl-field-query.html)syntax no longer works (while equivalent query\_string query still does).  
Has field query been deprecated?

this works for me:

{  
"query": {  
"query\_string": {  
"default\_field": "name",  
"query" : "foo"  
}  
}  
}

this produces error:

{  
"query": {  
"field": {  
"name": "foo"  
}  
}  
}

AFAIK the two are supposed to be identical queries.

- The field query has been removed. Use the  
query\_string[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.x/query-dsl-query-string-query.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.x/query-dsl-query-string-query.html)  
query  
instead.

Although depreciation warning in these cases would be useful.
