Elasticsearch index operation fails on complex object - rest

Question

I am indexing a data stream to Elasticsearch and I cannot figure out how to normalize incoming data to make it index without error. I have a mapping type "getdatavalues" which is a meta-data query. This meta-data query can return very different looking responses but I'm not seeing the difference. The error I get:
{"index":{"_index":"ens_event-2016.03.11","_type":"getdatavalues","_id":"865800029798177_2016_03_11_03_18_12_100037","status":400,"error":"MapperParsingException[object mapping for [getdatavalues] tried to parse field [output] as object, but got EOF, has a concrete value been provided to it?]"}}
when performing:
curl -XPUT 'http://192.168.99.100:80/es/ens_event-2016.03.11/getdatavalues/865800029798177_2016_03_11_03_18_12_100037' -d '{

Here's what Elasticsearch has for the mapping:

Answer 1

Looks like the argValues object doesn't quite agree with your mapping:
"argValues": {
"event": "InternationalEvent",
"hasEvent": "anyEvent"
}
Either this:
"argValues": {
"event": {
"event": "InternationalEvent"
},
"hasEvent": "anyEvent"
}
Or this:
"argValues": {
"event": {
"event": "InternationalEvent"
"hasEvent": "anyEvent"
},
}
Would both seem to be valid.
