I am having an issue were elasticsearch is not dectecting the correct mapping. I use to have a type and deleted it with curl -XDELETE [http://localhost:9200/index/type](http://localhost:9200/index/type) when then i started inserting data into the db again and it is not adding things in the root document to the new mapping and i have deleted the type a few times. It is only buidling the mapping from the sub document inside the bigger one.
