Hi,

I have a xml documents to be indexed. But it is available in two different formats.

Sample xml Document Format 1:

\<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?\> if i indexed the document of this format then elasticsearch is successfully detect the content type as "application/xml" and also give me document on search.

Sample xml Document Format 2:

Even if i have same data but present in following format of document then elasticsearch is not detecting the content type as well as not giving any document on search.

\<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?\> \<![CDATA[

Some Data Here...

Some Data Here...

]]\>

Kindly provide some clarity on the above mentioned scenarios.
