Elastic 7.4, The multiple types of support are deprecated !!

But it's not blocked as per the elastic documentation.

//  
PUT twitter/user/kimchy  
{  
"name": "Shay Banon",  
"user\_name": "kimchy",  
"email": "[shay@kimchy.com](mailto:shay@kimchy.com)"  
}

it should create index with default mapping type.

now, try to create new type index with tweet as below syntax  
//  
PUT twitter/tweet/1  
{  
"user\_name": "kimchy",  
"tweeted\_at": "2017-10-24T09:00:00Z",  
"content": "Types are going away"  
}

Elastic will give following error message  
//  
{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "illegal\_argument\_exception",  
"reason": "Rejecting mapping update to [twitter] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [user, tweet]"  
}  
],  
"type": "illegal\_argument\_exception",  
"reason": "Rejecting mapping update to [twitter] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [user, tweet]"  
},  
"status": 400  
}

and if you re-execute the same GET rest api and it does disable the index and give below error message  
//  
{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "cluster\_block\_exception",  
"reason": "index [twitter] blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete (api)];"  
}  
],  
"type": "cluster\_block\_exception",  
"reason": "index [twitter] blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete (api)];"  
},  
"status": 403  
}

Can you please provide some input here?
