This can *absolutely* be fixed in ElasticSearch. It's not a problem with Lucene, but with how ES data is mapped onto the Lucene data model.
The problem is that types and fields use local names instead of fully-qualified names. As far as Lucene is concerned, there would be a field named "user.id" mapped as a long, another field named "product.id" mapped as a string, and a nested type named "user.address.id" mapped as an integer. Under this kind of system, "user" and "product" can exist in the same index, without even the possibility that their names and types would clash. benji On Thursday, February 13, 2014 6:41:41 PM UTC-5, Ivan Brusic wrote: > > I doubt this issue will ever be "fixed" since the limitation exists in > Lucene.
