Beginner’s Crash Course to Elastic Stack - Part 4: Aggregations | Issues with data

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

After importing the data.csv file and running the STEP 1: Create a new index(ecommerce_data) with the following mapping., I am getting an error:

{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "resource_already_exists_exception",
"reason": "index [ecommerce_data/if7D34vxR2W6IfuPPGyuKw] already exists",
"index_uuid": "if7D34vxR2W6IfuPPGyuKw",
"index": "ecommerce_data"
}
],
"type": "resource_already_exists_exception",
"reason": "index [ecommerce_data/if7D34vxR2W6IfuPPGyuKw] already exists",
"index_uuid": "if7D34vxR2W6IfuPPGyuKw",
"index": "ecommerce_data"
},
"status": 400
}

Please ignore this. When i imported the data, I named the index as " ecommerce_data" and hence I got the error message "resource_already_exists_exception"

Worth suggesting in Git repo to import the file and use a name for the index as "ecommerce_orig"

Then, data cleanup would work seamlessly.

Second change:

STEP 2: Reindex the data from the original index(source) to the one you just created(destination).

POST _reindex
{
  "source": {
    "index": "***ecommerce_original***"
  },
  "dest": {
    "index": "ecommerce_data"
  }
}

Thanks for the feedback, you would be best off reporting this in Issues · LisaHJung/Beginners-Crash-Course-to-Elastic-Stack-Series-Table-of-Contents · GitHub to make sure Lisa sees it :slight_smile:

@Lisa_Jung FYI. Just a thought to make this lab easier to follow.
