Hi,
There is no need for a particular type for arrays[1]. Elasticsearch
automatically detects arrays, so instead of declaring a field as an array,
you need to declare what it contains. For example, assuming that
variablesUsed is an array of strings, you could define it as
"variablesUsed" : {"type" : "string", "store" : true, "index" : "analyzed"}
