Hello,

I just started with ES and used 1.2.1 and the Hadoop interface to push log 
data into Hadoop (HDP 2.1) via a Hive external table having defined fields. 
That worked great.

Our event logs are JSON and I next want to dynamically index the entire 
document instead of just designated fields. However some fields can come 
through as, say, String, in some records, while at other times that same 
field will be a complex nested type of some sort. This upset ES because it 
expects the field, once indexed, to stay the same type.

Any suggestions as the best way to deal with this? I'm looking at ways to 
flatten in the incoming structures but maybe ES has something built-in 
that's more elegant.

Thanks
Ken
