Update your Tools support Elasticsearch version 7 APIs

Deprecated index document types

The ability to specify a custom document type has been deprecated in Elasticsearch version 7. A full list of mapping changes can be found at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.x/breaking-changes-7.0.html#breaking_70_mappings_changes

Deprecated version 5 example with a custom document type:

curl -X PUT 'http://<elasticsearch>/index_name' -d '{
   "mappings": {
     "custom_type": {
       "properties": {
         "foo": { "type": "keyword"  }
       },
     }
   }
 }'

Supported version 7 example:

curl -X PUT 'http://<elasticsearch>/index_name' -d '{
   "mappings": {
     "doc": {
       "properties": {
         "foo": { "type": "keyword"  },
       },
     }
   }
 }'

This mapping change also effects the path to your index documents.

Example index document paths

Deprecated version 5

PUT <index>/<custom type>/<id>

version 7

PUT <index>/_doc/<id>
