Arash,
I imagine that is because elasticsearch currently does not support IPv6 fields. 

See this elasticsearch github issue for more background

Thanks,

For example, 130.85.12.20 will be broken apart into 130, 85, 12, and 80. This is because in the Core Type mappings, the not index attribute is not explicitly set to no (it defaults to yes). There is no way to adjust this for existing fields.
