Infinite recursion caused by as_indexed_json

[aercolino]

class Thing < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Elasticsearch::Model
  def as_indexed_json(options={})
    default = self.__elasticsearch__.as_indexed_json(options) # <--
    other = {
      # whatever
    }
    default.merge(other)
  end
end

Wanting to extend the default behavior (intuitive, DRY, OO) causes infinite recursion.

Soon I'll submit a pull request.

I don't see a good reason to call self.__elasticsearch__.as_indexed_json inside your own implementation. There is nothing special about that method, and you should simply implement it yourself, with the as_json provided by ActiveModel/ActiveSupport or by building the Hash.

@aercolino Hey, closing this, it's been some time. Let me repeat again, that there is no need whatsoever for you to call the self.__elasticsearch__.as_indexed_json method. Just serialize your model to a Hash with whatever means you have.
