 Hi,
     
         I just upgraded my Elasticsearch from 0.20.6 to 0.90.0 for 

```

sorting on multivalued fields. Then my nodes health starting gone red when  
data was indexed to elasticsearch. error log showing an exception:

[2013-05-13 08:24:37,404][WARN][cluster.action.shard] [Americop]  
received shard failed for [es\_15][1], node[vB8PJYecR1W3zCd-Cke2Kg], [P],  
s[STARTED], reason [engine failure, message  
[MergeException[org.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchIllegalStateException: no  
index mapper found for field:  
[fav\_metadata.fav\_local\_media\_person\_id.count]]; nested:  
ElasticSearchIllegalStateException[no index mapper found for field:  
[fav\_metadata.fav\_local\_media\_person\_id.count]]; ]]

When i added the missing mapping it started working fine. and then it gave  
the same error on another field. As far as I know, Elasticsearch adds the  
dynamic mappings if mappings are not executed. Then this error should not  
be there.

Please help me understand this logic. Because i have so many dynamic  
created field. And I can not create all of the mappings manually.

Hi Narinder

Use ignore\_unmapped:

curl -XGET '[http://127.0.0.1:9200/\_all/\_search?pretty=1](http://127.0.0.1:9200/_all/_search?pretty=1)' -d '  
{  
"sort" : [  
{  
"my\_field" : {  
"ignore\_unmapped" : 1,  
"mode" : "min",  
"order" : "asc"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
'
