NodeJS - Elastic Search for insert data to index - node.js

Question

I followed this link to get the mapping of the Elastic Search Index and would like to insert data(not include all fields) into it as below, but failed.
Mapping of index:
{
"mymapping": {
"mappings": {
"_meta": {
"beat": "apm",
"version": "7.5.0"
},
"dynamic_templates": [
{
"labels": {
"path_match": "labels.*",
"match_mapping_type": "string",
"mapping": {
"type": "keyword"
}
}
}
],
"properties": {
"#timestamp": {
"type": "date"
},
"people": {
"dynamic": "false",
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 1024
},
"name": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 1024
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
I prepared client.js without problem, here is InsertData.js:
const esClient = require('./client');
const insertDoc = async function(indexName, _id, mappingType, data){
return await esClient.index({
index: indexName,
type: mappingType,
id: _id,
body: data
});
}
module.exports = insertDoc;
async function test(){
const data = {
beat: 'apm',
version: '7.5.0'
}
try {
const resp = await insertDoc('mymapping', 2, '_meta', data);
console.log(resp);
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
}
test();
When I tried to insert data, there was exception.
Error output:
message:
'[illegal_argument_exception] Rejecting mapping update to [mymapping] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [_doc, _meta]',
path: '/mymapping/_doc/2',
query: { type: '_meta' },
body:

type: 'illegal_argument_exception',
reason:

status: 400 },
statusCode: 400,
response:
'{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason": "Rejecting mapping update to [mymapping] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [_doc, _meta]"
}
],
"type": "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason": "Rejecting mapping update to [mymapping] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [_doc, _meta]"
},
"status": 400
}'
How can insert data properly?

Starting elasticsearch 6+ multiple types have been deprecated. You are trying to explicitly put the type while creating the mapping which is meta and the one which is getting inserted be default is _doc.
See this for more details : Removal of types
