Ok, I'm at a loss. I'm starting to work with 6.0 and I read here that the preferred type name in 6.x is '_doc'. However, when I try to PUT a new document, I get an error from the (6.0.1) server: Document mapping type name can't start with '_' I am using the precise example from the 6.x manual …

Can't use _doc as type despite it being declared the preferred method

Sorry for the confusion, we addressed this in 6.2.0: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/27816
