Add a --no-type option? #77

Closed packetwatch closed 4 years ago

packetwatch commented 4 years ago

As expected, the TYPE field is no longer necessary in ES 7.X. When importing to an ES7.X cluster I'm getting the error:

'reason': 'The [default] mapping cannot be updated on index [blah]: defaults mappings are not useful anymore now that indices can have at most one type.', 'type': 'illegal_argument_exception'

When I try to designate the index as "", it throws the error:

type is missing

Can we add a '--no-type' flag to allow for ES7.X until 6.X is EOL?

Thanks for this tool!

Never mind... Not necessary after all.

My issue was the Template for the index existed and had been created in 6.X already. I deleted the template with the following command and when ES-Loader ran the index was created successfully.

curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9200/_template/logstash

In case anyone else has that issue....

Thanks again!
