I have a cluster with documents, with one field being an array of long types. Below is an example value of this field:  
"request\_categories": [  
150848602323501540,  
150847029425938900  
],

When I query the field, it does not return anything. Below is the query.  
GET service\_alias/service/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"term": {  
"request\_categories" : 150848602323501540  
}  
}  
}

This data field is indexed. I have no problems querying other data fields. Anything that I may have missed? Thanks!
