ElasticSearch / Tire with rails: no parser for element

Question

I'm using elasticsearch with tire gem for Ruby on Rails.

so far so good, I have a successfull range facet on dates, but now i'm trying to do the same for a float field and it is giving me 'no parser for element' errors.

mapping
  indexes :budget, type: 'float'
  indexes :post_date, type: 'date'
end

(hiding the other fields)

in my search:

tire.search(load: true, page: params[:page], per_page: 8) do
  query do
    boolean do
      must { string params[:query], default_operator: "AND" } if params[:query].present?
    end
    facet('timeline') { range :post_date, { :ranges => [ { to: Date.today+1, from: Date.today-7 }, { to: Date.today+1, from: Date.today-14 }, { to: Date.today+1, from: Date.today-30 } ] } } 
    facet('budget') { range :budget, {:ranges => [{ to: 500 }, { from: 500, to: 1000 },{ from: 1000, to: 1500 },{ from: 1500 }]}}
  end
end

The timeline one works fine, I've re=indexed (force = true)

I get this error: (similar error repeated a few times)

Relevant bit seems to be: Parse Failure [No parser for element [budget]]
No idea what is causing this, any input much appreciated!! thanks

I think you should reindex the index you want to use. For example, for Article class:

rake RAILS_ENV=production tire:import CLASS=Article FORCE=true
