ok, you just went a bit above my experience level here. I do know what you mean as i have been playing around with this and if it goes into a blank index it works fine, but when i define the mapping it does not play nice.
I defined the mapping because i was seeing an issue where the index got created with a null value and then the rest (the majority) were not going in due to having a value aand not being null. Thus i defined the mapping manuallly and now i get these errors. Either way i am stuck.
This mapping/template is defnitely a thorn in my side and my weakness. Do you think you can be more specific on how i should define an object in the mapping template?
