NumberFormatException when using regex filter with int field

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,
I am using ES Java api to run queries against ES. I have a field in ES
which has int data. When I run regex filter on that field im getting number
format exception.
Can't we use regex with numbers? is it only for string fields?
Thanks

Yes. copy the int field value to a string field with copy_to or manually.
