The reason it didn't say anything about a required field is that you have default="" in your schema field definitions, so when it's missing, that is the value that gets used. I did not really look at the schema before, because the exception was understandable but did not say which field was blank ... so I didn't know which field to look at in the schema. The blank string is an invalid default for numeric fields. The default for that field type should be omitted entirely or set to a real value, like 0, -1, -2147483648 (for integer), -9223372036854775808 (for long). If it were me, I would not have a default value, so that the field is missing if it is not present in the input document. Thanks, Shawn
