No timers and histograms on Elasticsearch 2.0

[andrepnh]

Elasticsearch 2.0 doesn't supports field names with the '.' character, but both timers and histograms have the "Percentile 99.9%" field. From elasticsearch logs:

[2015-11-17 10:26:54,885][DEBUG][action.admin.indices.mapping.put] [Quantum] failed to put mappings on indices [[metrics-test_2015-11-17]], type [Timer]

Replacing the '.' with '_' as done in logstash would solve the problem. It's not pretty, but I don't think it would cause confusion.

Hello, i'm having this issue, using Metrics.net with elasticsearch, how can i caonvert the Metrics.net column name .

I need to change the "." with something else.

I'm having this error right now [Field name [Percentile 99.9%] cannot contain '.']

Thank you
