Hallo dear all, the last days I played a lot with Elastic Search and I'm really impressed. But now I have a problem which seems a little bit strange. I tried to index a document looking like this: {"metadataContainerType": {"xmlns:ns3":"\*\*\*", "title":"Eine Szene", "id":{}, "format":"text/xml", "created":"2011-12-16T20:32:56.580+01:00", "lastModified":"2012-05-10T07:30:14.766+02:00", "issued":"2011-12-16T20:32:56.580+01:00", "revision":0, "pid":"hdl:11858/00-1734-0000-0001-D89D-E", "extent":38, "availability":"public", "permissions":"read", "rightsHolder":{}, "dateOfCreation":{}, "genre":"prose"}} and everything works fine! But when I try index this file: {"metadataContainerType": {"xmlns:ns3":"\*\*\*", "title":"Des Dichters Freundin", "id":{}, "format":"text/xml", "created":"2011-12-16T20:35:44.239+01:00", "lastModified":"2011-12-16T20:35:44.239+01:00", "issued":"2011-12-16T20:35:44.239+01:00", "revision":0, "pid":"hdl:11858/00-1734-0000-0001-D978-7", "extent":10767, "availability":"public", "permissions":{}, "dateOfCreation":{}, "agent":{}, "genre":{}}} I get the error: "{"error":"MapperParsingException[object mapping for [metadata] tried to parse as object, but got EOF, has a concrete value been provided to it?]","status":400}" When I remove the "metadataContainerType": it works! So I am a little bit confused, can someone of you explain me this behavior? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

JSON must have balanced braces. Add a closing brace and check your nesting. ...Ken On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 7:12 AM, Sentient6 [maxi\_brodhun@hotmail.com](mailto:maxi_brodhun@hotmail.com) wrote: > Hallo dear all, > > the last days I played a lot with Elastic Search and I'm really impressed. > But now I have a problem which seems a little bit strange. > > I tried to index a document looking like this: > > {"metadataContainerType": > {"xmlns:ns3":"\*\*\*", > "title":"Eine Szene", > "id":{}, > "format":"text/xml", > "created":"2011-12-16T20:32:56.580+01:00", > "lastModified":"2012-05-10T07:30:14.766+02:00", > "issued":"2011-12-16T20:32:56.580+01:00", > "revision":0, > "pid":"hdl:11858/00-1734-0000-0001-D89D-E", > "extent":38, > "availability":"public", > "permissions":"read", > "rightsHolder":{}, > "dateOfCreation":{}, > "genre":"prose"}} > > and everything works fine! > > But when I try index this file: > > {"metadataContainerType": > {"xmlns:ns3":"\*\*\*", > "title":"Des Dichters Freundin", > "id":{}, > "format":"text/xml", > "created":"2011-12-16T20:35:44.239+01:00", > "lastModified":"2011-12-16T20:35:44.239+01:00", > "issued":"2011-12-16T20:35:44.239+01:00", > "revision":0, > "pid":"hdl:11858/00-1734-0000-0001-D978-7", > "extent":10767, > "availability":"public", > "permissions":{}, > "dateOfCreation":{}, > "agent":{}, > "genre":{}}} > > I get the error: "{"error":"MapperParsingException[object mapping for > [metadata] tried to parse as object, but got EOF, has a concrete value been > provided to it?]","status":400}" > > When I remove the "metadataContainerType": it works! > > So I am a little bit confused, can someone of you explain me this behavior? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

But I think the braces are balanced. Maybe I overlook something. The frist one. {"metadataContainerType" : { ``` ...... "genre" : "prose" } ``` } The second one: {"metadataContainerType": { ....... ``` "genre" : {} ``` } } ---

Hello to all again. I figured out that the problem occurs when I add something in the "rightsholder" field. "rightsholder" : {}, is ok! But "rightsholder" : "me", is not ok. Can somebody explain me this behaviour? ---
