Elasticsearch: MapperParsingException[object mapping for [matched_details.C03BT006] tried to parse field [null] as object, but found a concrete value]

Created on 13 Jun 2017 · 7Comments · Source: elastic/elasticsearch

I defined the mapping like this:
"properties": { "id": { "type": "string", "index": "not_analyzed" }, "level": { "type": "string" }, "matched_sources": { "type": "string" }, "black_data": { "type": "string" }, "black_class": { "type": "string" }, "black_type": { "type": "string" }, "matched_details": { "type": "nested" } }

but when I loaded data to es,some cases would get this error:
tried to parse field [null] as object, but found a concrete value]

however,most of the cases are successful, and all the cases have the same format.
when I get the case that got error to http://json.cn/ to parse, it's really a json,I don't know
what's wrong about the es.

@bleskes Could I ask you some question about the datatype of ES. Here it is : I have a piece of data with the format of json, like this:

so, what kind of datatype do you think I should define for the field of "matched_details".
I'd appreciate it if you can help me with this.

@wlxy can I ask you to ask these kind of questions on our forum. If this turns out to be a bug on the ES side, we can open an issue here, with a full reproduction, version etc. Cheers.
