[ckan-discuss] Wrong type mapping

Sun Jun 3 22:34:36 BST 2012

Hello,

I had a quick look at your file.

You where correct about the type inferences if there are ",".  You
seem to have missed out on removing a few though on around line 370 in
your file.

i.e http://thedatahub.org/api/data/3b961dcf-f2fc-4425-8c07-159a58557bc9/369

I removed the last few commas from the fiile and tried to upload it
again and is seems to have worked.

http://thedatahub.org/dataset/copa-2014/resource/ad90de8a-17c7-4576-a6a5-cc8c68b61f89
http://thedatahub.org/api/data/ad90de8a-17c7-4576-a6a5-cc8c68b61f89/_mapping

We have to be very strict about our inference or elastic search will
blow up on us.  We fall back to text whenever there is a little bit of
uncertainty.

Thanks

David
