**Elasticsearch version:** 2.3.2

**JVM version:** 1.8

**OS version:** Cent OS

**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior** AND **Steps to reproduce:**

actually we have one large application and in that the indexing always  
going on around min 500-1000 logs per second, and we have our defined  
syntax for users to execute searching in elasticsearch.

```
But now we have one biggest issue after elastic version 2.3.2 that 

```

while indexing is going on and our user try to get aggregation on data  
like sum, min, max etc.. on that time customer doesn't know that the  
column is string or numeric so. Elasticsearch throws Error  
(SERVER\_ERROR) that need numeric field but found string field.

In this case Elasticsearch is right and scenario is perfect but after  
this happens more then two times Elasticsearch stop working It's not  
even responding in any plugin. It's also not even give status by  
[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200) so Please resolve my problem and reply me as soon  
as possible.

We have very big work with Elasticsearch and then we stuck over here.

Check your ES logs, there should be something in there.

Also what monitoring do you have in place, ie Marvel?
