Properties to_dict() overrides type when use same InnerDoc for Object and Nested fields

[bukhem]

Hi there!
Thanks for your work.

I have the following code

from elasticsearch_dsl import InnerDoc, DocType, Object, Nested

class DummyInnerDoc(InnerDoc): pass

class TestDocument(DocType):
    spam = Object(DummyInnerDoc)
    eggs = Nested(DummyInnerDoc)

TestDocument._doc_type.mapping.to_dict()

and got mapping with type nested for both fields:

{'properties': {'spam': {'type': 'nested'}, 'eggs': {'type': 'nested'}}}

but expected that mapping should be:

{'properties': {'spam': {'type': 'object'}, 'eggs': {'type': 'nested'}}}.

If I switch fields order to (nested first and object second):

class TestDocument(DocType):
    eggs = Nested(DummyInnerDoc) 
    spam = Object(DummyInnerDoc)   

I got type object for both fields.

Is it an expected behavior to keep same mapping for concrete InnerDoc? If so, what do you recommend to me when I need to have same InnerDoc for Object and Nested fields in document?

Of course, I can declare second class like class NestedDummyInnerDoc(DummyInnerDoc): pass and use it for nested fields, but is it right way to solve my problem?

Thanks for help.

I got bitten by the same bug a few months ago. I submitted a patch:
