I'm trying to adapt the latest version of elastic search 5.3.0 with inviso and when I tried to index some jobs with a python file I’m getting the following error can someone tell me what is the changes in the latest version and how can i resolve the problem $ python index\_cluster\_stats.py \ INFO:inviso.cluster:training: no applications running.

Take at the discuss link below. I think you are having the same problem. > [@Filter or output plugin complains: Can't merge a non object mapping with an object mapping](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filter-or-output-plugin-complains-cant-merge-a-non-object-mapping-with-an-object-mapping/46665): > > Not sure if its the json filter or the elasticsearch output plugin.

thank you for your answer I’ve already seen the post but it doesn’t help me although i resolved the problem with indexing my jobs without timestamps fields , it was actually the main error , i think it's not supported on elasticsearch-5.3.0 ---
