Handle half_float and scaled_float datatypes in Elasticsearch

[ycombinator]

Elasticsearch recently introduced half_float and scaled_float datatypes. This issue is to ensure that Kibana handles them properly.

Thanks @monicasarbu and @bohyun-e for drawing attention to these new datatypes.

To be clear, the issue seems to be that these types are treated as strings at the moment, but they should be treated as numbers instead.

@ycombinator in addition to updating this in Kibana core, it looks like console maintains a list of types? Should I add half_float and scaled_float to the following list:

kibana/src/core_plugins/console/api_server/es_5_0/mappings.js

Line 84 in 81efe3b

__one_of: ['text', 'keyword', 'float', 'double', 'byte', 'short', 'integer', 'long', 'date', 'boolean',

And is there anything else I need to do (I have no clue what that list is for, it just came up in a search :) )? I'm just asking you because it looks like you were the last one to touch it.

[ycombinator]

@Bargs Yes, please add it to that line. You shouldn't need to do anything more other than testing that you can autocomplete those types while building out the body for a put mapping request.

Are there any similar changes that need to happen in x-pack?
