I got an error when creating a new document with non-existing subclass type.
Here is an example. Boy and Girl are subclasses of Kid, and Dog is not existing class.

It is not so easy to find out the cause of the problem when that error message was shown. Moreover, the case below can be occurred.
[1] pry(main)> Kid.destroy_all
NameError: uninitialized constant Dog
from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p451/gems/activesupport-4.0.0/lib/active_support/inflector/methods.rb:226:in `const_get'
In this pull-req, I added an error that is raised when creating a new document with non-existing subclass type.
Although many other ways to handle that problem might be there, anyway, defining the behavior for this case should be needed.
Thank you.
