we were using python to send data to elastic search using a simple routine

es = elasticsearch.Elasticsearch([{'host' : es\_host, 'port' : es\_port}])

es.bulk(index=index\_name, doc\_type=document\_type, body=json\_data\_str, fields="\_id", request\_timeout=60)

however since 7.0 it doesnt seem to like "fields" what has changed? Anyone know? The documentation for 7.0 still shows that fields is valid.
