When inserting a document into elasticsearch through elasticdump and sense plugin roundinoff the long values.

POST longval/user/1  
{  
"userId": 123456789123456567  
}

When getting the same index

"\_index": "longval",  
"\_type": "user",  
"\_id": "1",  
"\_score": 1,  
"\_source": {  
"userId": 123456789123456560  
}

How to overcome this, Why does it rounds the after certain digits ?

Use a string!

But I agree this is quite a bug, Lucene should check for data integrity before updating document.
