Conflicting field mapping

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am trying to upgrade from 1.7.1 and 2.x and the migration took is showing some errors

Index: .kibana
Conflicting field mappings
Mapping for field dashboard:hits conflicts with: search:hits. Check parameter: type
Boolean fields
Boolean fields will return 1/0 instead of T/F in scripts, aggregations, or sort values, in field: dashboard:timeRestore

"dashboard" : {
"properties" : {
"description" : {
"type" : "string"
},
"hits" : {
"type" : "long"

 "hits" : {
        "type" : "integer"
      },

I tried to export the objects and re-import but it did not work.
Please help

I believe the issues is your dashboard hits field is defined with type of long, but your search hits field is defined with a type of integer. In 2.x, fields with the same name in the same index (which is your case) can not have different types.

See: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.0/indices-put-mapping.html#merging-conflicts

Hi Steve
I should be able to do something like this?
curl -XPUT .kibana/_mapping/hits?update_all_types
{
"properties" : {
"columns" : {
"type" : "string"
},
"description" : {
"type" : "string"
},
"hits" : {
"type" : "long"
}
}
}

What am I doing wrong?
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/.kibana/_mapping/hits?update_all_types
{
"properties" : {
"hits" : {
"type" : "long"
}
}
}
