Java method call is ambiguous

Syn :

there are 2 methods:

public static TermsQueryBuilder termsQuery(String name, int... values) {
    return new TermsQueryBuilder(name, values);
}
public static TermsQueryBuilder termsQuery(String name, Object... values) {
    return new TermsQueryBuilder(name, values);
}

when i called

termsQuery("operatorType", 1);

it says that is ambiguous.

Please Help ...

all the methods are in Elasticsearch,for example:

public static TermsQueryBuilder termsQuery(String name, String... values) {
    return new TermsQueryBuilder(name, values);
}
public static TermsQueryBuilder termsQuery(String name, int... values) {
    return new TermsQueryBuilder(name, values);
}
public static TermsQueryBuilder termsQuery(String name, long... values) {
    return new TermsQueryBuilder(name, values);
}
...
public static TermsQueryBuilder termsQuery(String name, Object... values) {
    return new TermsQueryBuilder(name, values);
}

when I called termsQuery("operationType","1"), not ambiguous.

when I called termsQuery("operationType",1), ambiguous.

when I called termsQuery("operationType",Arrays.asList(searchParam.getOperatorType()), not ambiguous.

puzzled.....

Ray Toal :

Simply rename one or both of your methods and the error will go away.

You cannot overload this method with the signatures your desire, because your call can be matched by both method definitions, and the types int and Object are not in a superclass-subclass relationship, so neither is more specific than the other.

Consider

integerTermsQuery

and

objectTermsQuery

EDIT

As you point out in your comments, the version with the String... parameter does not conflict with Object... and arrays are covariant with String being a subclass of Object.
