Hi Paresh,
If you want to sort on the field, I think it has to be the same type. So if
you make everything a double, it should work for all numeric fields. To do
that, you can use dynamic templates
<http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/mapping-root-object-type.html#_dynamic_templates>.
For example if you have this:
"mappings" : {
"_default_" : {
"dynamic_templates" : [ {
"long_to_float" : {
"match" : "*",
"match_mapping_type" : "long",
"mapping" : {
"type" : "float"
}
}
} ]
}
}
And add a new field with value=32, the field would be mapped as float
instead of long.
Best regards,
Radu
