Hi,

I'm using python to create index in my elasticsearch.

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch  
es = Elasticsearch(es\_url)  
es.index(index=\<INDEX\_NAME\>, doc\_type="type", body="body", id=record\_id)

But it returns:

```
POST /<INDEX_NAME>/type [status:406 request:0.004s]
The log None failed to send to ES (This is potentially due to a mapping conflict)

```

(I know mapping conflict part was because es 7.0.0 doesn't support 'doc\_type' other than default '\_doc')

As you can see, there's no elasticsearch url in POST it's value is 'None'. But if a make a spell mistake in the es\_url variable, i get proper POST url.

I tried checking setting es\_url to different es endpoint. but got same error as that es too was of 7.0.0 version.

Please help!

Thanks.

Never mind. The elasticsearch python module version was incompatible. I did pip install --upgrade elasticsearch and it worked.

Thanks,
