Hi ,  
I am trying to read flattened Filed from Elasticsearch .  
I will be able to read all filed from Index except Flattened Datatype filed.  
Could you please let me know how to read that filed from Spark.  
Any option that i have to enable from spark to read flattened fields?

Hi @musku. Unfortunately we don't yet support all Elasticsearch field types in es-spark. Flattened fields are on my to-do list -- [Support for all Elasticsearch field types · Issue #1813 · elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop/issues/1813). I don't know of a workaround at the moment but I'll try to take a look at some point soon.

I just took a look, and unfortunately I don't see an obvious workaround or even a really simple code change to get flattened fields to work.
