https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/4179/elastic-search-index-recreation-fails-inconsistently<p>When re-starting the Ivy Engine (7.0.11), we found out, that elastic search index recreation fails everytime but with different objects.</p> <p>We then tried to call <code>DiCore.getGlobalInjector().getInstance(IBusinessDataManager.class).startIndexRecreation()</code> directly multiple times and almost every time a different object is reported as having problems, eg:</p> <pre><code>first call: bulk error: id=13a8e230cc9b47338d45e552678c1b10, index=ivy.businessdata-xxx.order, error={"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"mapper [yyy.zzz] cannot be changed from type [float] to [long]"} next call: bulk error: id=0587301dfde5411a9caae3413ed25e7f, index=ivy.businessdata-xxx.order, error={"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"mapper [yyy.zzz] cannot be changed from type [long] to [float]"} next call: bulk error: id=0271c00a7c5543c998bc81e5215e7949, index=ivy.businessdata-xxx.order, error={"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"mapper [yyy.zzz] cannot be changed from type [long] to [float]"} </code></pre> <p>Please also note, that all three examples reference the same field of the same object type. How is this possible and how can we repair our index?</p> <p>TIA</p>enFri, 22 Nov 2019 03:21:12 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/4179/elastic-search-index-recreation-fails-inconsistently/4182<p>I assume that the field is a BigDecimal. There has been an issue with them if the first value, which was stored has been a non float number, such as BigDecimal(1). See <a href="https://jira.axonivy.com/jira/browse/XIVY-3463">https://jira.axonivy.com/jira/browse/XIVY-3463</a></p> <p>The bug was addressed with 8.0 LTS and on the issue-report there is also a patch file for 7.0 LTS. So I'd advise you to migrate to the latest 7.0.14, apply the pre-liminary patch for bigDecimals and you should be fine. Please get in contact with our support to get the patch and advise how to apply it.</p>Reguel WermelingerFri, 22 Nov 2019 03:21:12 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/4179/elastic-search-index-recreation-fails-inconsistently/4182
