Custom types not working on Elasticsearch 6+

[paalm]

So I am trying to add custom types. After fixing the documentation I was able to run it. But it doesnt input any documents into the index. And I tried to update mapping, but then I got error saying that I its not possible to have more than one type. And off course, that is a breaking change in Elasticsearch 6. There are only one type now.

So custom types is wrong in it selves if you run Elasticsearch 6+. I suggest we change it to or add a "Custom Fields" method. A method that just add custom fields to the "main type" and do bulk operations to the new fields.

I would suggest creating one index per custom type to index.

Yes, I agree. I have tried this, but it does not search in both indexes if I try with wildcard on index name. I would like to use the alias, but I guess its not yet in place. How can I search in multiple indexes?
