Hello,

In ES I have a field of type long, confirmed by  
curl -XGET '[http://clem-vbox:9200/sicap/abo/\_mapping?pretty=true](http://clem-vbox:9200/sicap/abo/_mapping?pretty=true)

But when I query ES and get the first SearchHit's map with :  
hit.sourceAsMap().get("xxx"));

It returns me an Integer (and my test fails !) instead of Long.

Is it normal ?  
Thx

Yes, thats what the json parsing does. When you index a document in elasticsearch, it gets translated to json and indexed, when you ask for it, it gets parsed back.

Ok so I assume that if a document contains a very long Int it will be parsed as Long.  
Thx
