Return numerical values without quotes

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi!

I have an elasticsearch installation with numerical mappings. The problem is that i can't control what is inserted. And the insertions are putting the numbers within quotes.

When I query the index these values are also returned with quotes. Is it possible to change a setting or mapping to return the numerical value without the quotes?

Some client application are requiering that the data is formated as numerical JSON.

Thanks,

They're being converted to strings?

An insertion of "4.0" would give back "4.0".
An insertion of 4.0 would give back 4.

The mapping for the field is a float. Can this be sovled easily?

Elasticsearch does not modify the document source, so I believe the fact that you get back what you inserted in expected. You should really address this before you index the documents.
