ES type "ip" displayed as integer

[gelim]

Hi,

when displaying data in a chart that is typed as "ip" in elasticsearch, the integer value is printed by kibana3. There should be a wrapper that compute the text value before being printed out in that case.

Cheers

This isn't just cosmetic: If you try to do a topN query, with an IP field as the key, it causes ES to reject the query because the decimal number isn't an IP address. Serious bug.

This is an issue in Elasticsearch. The short of it is that Elasticsearch retrieves the values from field data, and currently has no mechanism for modifying values before returning them.
