How to index document containing ZonedDateTime field in elasticsearch

Question

I'm trying to store a document with a zonedDateTime filed in es, but i'm getting parsing error: org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: failed to parse field [creationDate] of type [date]

Here is my document definition

@Document(indexName = "index", type = "myType")
public class myDocument {
  @Id
  private String id;
  private String text;
  @Field(type = FieldType.Date)
  private ZonedDateTime creationDate;
....

I'm getting this error:

org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: failed to parse field [creationDate] of type [date]

I can't figure out why I'm getting this error message.

Answer 1

I figure out how to do this: JavaTimeModule is not use by default byt ObjectMapper, we need to register it.

public static class CustomEntityMapper implements EntityMapper {

     private final ObjectMapper objectMapper;

     public CustomEntityMapper() {
        objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
        objectMapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
        objectMapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY, true);
        objectMapper.registerModule(new CustomGeoModule());
        objectMapper.registerModule(new JavaTimeModule());
     }

     @Override
     public String mapToString(Object object) throws IOException {
        return objectMapper.writeValueAsString(object);
     }

     @Override
     public <T> T mapToObject(String source, Class<T> clazz) throws IOException {
        return objectMapper.readValue(source, clazz);
     }
  }

Finally add it to ElasticsearchTemplate:

new ElasticsearchTemplate(client, new CustomEntityMapper());
