Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

```

````

It sounds like you are trying to send a weird doc type or that you already created it: `bebf52d2-7d9d-4b4b-a31b-3779dc9d1c8a`.

Run a `GET application-2018.01.14/_mapping` and see what you have yet.

May be a wrong index template.
