Hi Maria, Thanks for the update.
Some comments: https://github.com/podorvanova/gora/blob/gora-664/gora-elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/apache/gora/elasticsearch/store/ElasticsearchStore.java#L192 Please add the index mappings when you create the elasticsearch index. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/master/java-rest-high-create-index.html#java-rest-high-create-index-request-mappings You can use the Field mappings parsed from the XML file. https://github.com/podorvanova/gora/blob/gora-664/gora-elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/apache/gora/elasticsearch/mapping/ElasticsearchMapping.java#L28 Regarding your question, Elasticsearch supports complex datatypes: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/object.html https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/nested.html You can use the RethinkDB datastore as an example and store recursively the fields of the embedded objects. https://github.com/apache/gora/blob/b45581a371d2d69c472c37793efa085436056c9b/gora-rethinkdb/src/main/java/org/apache/gora/rethinkdb/store/RethinkDBStore.java#L448 Give it a try first and let me know if you get stuck. Alternatively, if the first option is not feasible, you can serialize the embedded objects as byte array, example: https://github.com/apache/gora/blob/master/gora-solr/src/main/java/org/apache/gora/solr/store/SolrStore.java#L735 https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/binary.html Best regards, John.
