Hello,  
I need to run queries periodically. But because my mappings created  
dynamically it is possible that I could run query against document type  
which is not yet created. And if my query need to sort on some field I'm  
getting SearchParseException:

Failed to execute phase [query], all shards failed; shardFailures {[bNA\_-  
MVqQ-6aBKZ\_iki0hQ][ccio][3]: SearchParseException[[ccio][3]: query[  
ConstantScore(cache(NotFilter(cache(BooleanFilter(  
…… snip …..  
Parse Failure [No mapping found for [userId] in order to sort on]

It is a valid message, but should ES throw the error, instead of returning  
empty result, as it would return on any other query against not existed  
type? I expected empty result of course.

Thanks,  
Eugene
