Hello,

I am getting a lot of error messages, saying that I cannot bulk update an unexisting index  
(stacktrace:  
[2016-11-03T16:41:47,534][WARN][o.e.a.b.TransportShardBulkAction] [muth\_01\_dev] unexpected error during the primary phase for action [indices:data/write/bulk[s]], request [BulkShardRequest to [coresystems\_core01] containing [41] requests]  
org.elasticsearch.index.IndexNotFoundException: no such index)

or that I cannot change a mapping  
(error message:  
[2016-11-03T16:41:46,686][DEBUG][o.e.a.a.i.m.p.TransportPutMappingAction] [muth\_01\_dev] failed to put mappings on indices [[[coresystems\_core01/z5unTqyiTkeZVx7B-Zh1ZA]]], type [supporters]  
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object mapping [problemsSolved] can't be changed from non-nested to nested)

When I check my mappings and data, everything seems to be ok.

When I use the older ES 2.4.1 version I do not get those error messages.

Yours,  
Tom
