Hello,
I am a newbie to ES and would appreciate any insights into the below issue 
(going crazy for the last couple of hours :/):

I need to store the following string value into a field -- foo\bar -- with 
the literal backslash in it.

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test/test/test' -d '
{
             "rules": [
                {
                    "users" : [ "foo\bar" ]
              ]
}'

I get the following error:

{"error":"RemoteTransportException[[High-Tech][inet[/X.X.X.X:9300]][index]]; 
nested: MapperParsingException[failed to parse [rules.users]]; nested: 
JsonParseException[Unrecognized character escape 'k' (code 107)\n at 
[Source: UNKNOWN; line: 10, column: 42]]; ","status":400}

I tried "foo\\bar" and the value gets stored as "foo\\bar".

Any ideas on how to store "foo\bar" with the literal backslash in it?

Thanks in advance!
