Elassandra not indexing UDT

Question

This error occurs with elassandra 5.5.018 and 6.2.3.2. I have this table structure:

CREATE TYPE applicationinfo (
    industry text,
    area_of_application text,
    product_group text,
    sic_code text,
    conveyed_product text,
    flowability text,
    viscosity text,
    solids_content text,
    size_of_solids text,
    concentration text,
    composition text,
    specific_gravity text,
    ph_value text,
    product_temperature_min int,
    product_temperature_max int
);


CREATE TABLE deviceinfo (
    id text,
    "applicationinfo" applicationinfo
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

In my test-case there are some (about 100 entries inserted). When i try to create an elastic index for the deviceinfo table it fails with this exception:

What am I doing wrong?

Answering own question. The issue has been resolved here:

https://github.com/strapdata/elassandra/issues/210

The solution is to freeze the udt fields:

CREATE TABLE deviceinfo (
    id text,
    "applicationinfo" frozen<applicationinfo>,
    baseinfo frozen<baseinfo>,
    "product" frozen<product>,
    "specification" frozen<specification>,
    "technicaldata" frozen<technicaldata>,
    "customer" frozen<customer>,
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
