My project has documents with very large integers. In order to index those documents, I have to set their types to string (or double) -- either one works. However, I get the following exception whenever a URL includes a "?fields=" parameter. Here's a simple demonstration (also available as a Gist: [https://gist.github.com/hindman/7591513](https://gist.github.com/hindman/7591513)): # Create index. curl -X DELETE localhost:9200/xx curl -X PUT localhost:9200/xx # Set up the mapping to handle very large integer fields. curl -X PUT localhost:9200/xx/yy/\_mapping -d '{"yy": {"properties": {"a": {"type": "string"}, "b": {"type": "string"}}}}' # Index two documents, the second having very large integers. curl -X PUT localhost:9200/xx/yy/1 -d '{"a": 123, "b": 456}' curl -X PUT localhost:9200/xx/yy/2 -d '{"a": 933655199414565157, "b": 9917602859033623819}' # Everything is working so far: I can retrieve the documents. curl -X GET localhost:9200/xx/yy/1 curl -X GET localhost:9200/xx/yy/2 # I can use a ?fields= query parameter with the first document. curl -X GET localhost:9200/xx/yy/1?fields=a,b # But not with the second. curl -X GET localhost:9200/xx/yy/2?fields=a,b {"error":"ElasticSearchIllegalStateException[No matching token for number\_type [BIG\_INTEGER]]","status":500} Here's my version info: 0.90.5, Build: c8714e8/2013-09-17T12:50:20Z, JVM: 1.6.0\_65.

Hi, I played a little with your gist (thanks BTW for providing a full curl recreation. It really helps a lot!) You defined a mapping with a and b as string. If you change your PUT requests to this: curl -X PUT localhost:9200/xx/yy/1 -d '{"a": "123", "b": "456"}' curl -X PUT localhost:9200/xx/yy/2 -d '{"a": "933655199414565157", "b": "9917602859033623819"}' Everything works fine. If you try ton change the mapping and use numbers (long) instead of string, you will get that message when putting the 2nd document : {"error":"MapperParsingException[failed to parse [b]]; nested: JsonParseException[Numeric value (9917602859033623819) out of range of long (-9223372036854775808 - 9223372036854775807)\n at [Source: [B@18b0a0; line: 1, column: 51]]; ","status":400} Best -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 22 novembre 2013 at 00:09:44, Monty Hindman ([montyhindman@gmail.com](mailto:montyhindman@gmail.com)) a écrit: My project has documents with very large integers.
