I meet a problem . When I index an value , for example {"id": -8848340816900692111}, then i search it ,it shows that "id": -8848340816900692000. Anyone can help? I want know why does elasticsearch do this and how can i deal with. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

It typically happens if you put data into elasticsearch using Sense or some other JavaScript-based applications. Large numbers like this one are getting rounded in JavaScript before they reach Elasticsearch.

What I was trying to say is that the problem is with browsers parsing json. I am not really sure how you jumped to the conclusion that you cannot use Java API. Java API doesn't have any of these issues since it is using the same representation for long as the rest of elasticsearch. JavaScript on another hand is using a different internal representation of long numbers, so when you ask JavaScript to parse number -8848340816900692111 it loads it as -8848340816900692000. Try parsing your document using [http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/](http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/) and you will see what I mean.
