Validation Failed: 1: type is missing

[agilmore]

Hi, was getting this error when trying to indexing content: Elastica\Exception\ResponseException: Validation Failed: 1: type is missing; in Elastica\Transport\Http->exec() (line 172 of drupal/sites/all/vendor/ruflin/elastica/lib/Elastica/Transport/Http.php).

The following change fixed it for me:

diff --git a/includes/SearchApiElasticsearchIndex.inc b/includes/SearchApiElasticsearchIndex.inc
index 204dae1..0bf56b7 100644
--- a/includes/SearchApiElasticsearchIndex.inc
