Hello! Is there a way to request a field in a normalized form?  
For example, for a mapping `{"mappings" : { "properties" : { "fieldA" : "integer"} } }` and indexed documents `{ "fieldA" : "42" }` and `{ "fieldA" : 43 }`, how can I get values of `fieldA` in both documents as an integer?

You can use `script_fields` to achieve that:

```auto
GET test11/_search
{
  "script_fields": {
    "a": {
      "script": {
        "lang": "expression",
        "source": "doc['fieldA']"
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work with `geo_point`.

I spent a lot of time of googling before, but today I got a very easy working solution:

```json
{
  "fields" : [
    "fieldA"
  ],
  "_source" : false
}

```

This works with both integer and geo\_point types.  
Anyway I much appreciate your time.
