Greetings. im trying to connect to elasticsearch from yaeger tracing app, it looks like it is connected with the correct url and creds but when i look at the yaeger ui im seeing this error. Ideas please ? thanks,

### HTTP Error: search services failed: elastic: Error 400 (Bad Request): all shards failed [type=search\_phase\_execution\_exception]: RootCause[Text fields are not optimised for operations that require per-document field data like aggregations and sorting, so these operations are disabled by default. Please use a keyword field instead. Alternatively, set fielddata=true on [serviceName] in order to load field data by uninverting the inverted index. Note that this can use significant memory. [type=illegal\_argument\_exception]]

Did you find how to fix it ?  
I've been going through quite a few github issues ... but I still don't know what's causing it.  
I'm running opensearch 2.13 if that makes a difference

OpenSearch is not the same product.  
It's a fork of a tiny part of the code which was written 3+ years ago. Elasticsearch progressed a lot in the meantime. Even APIs are probably not compatible anymore.

Actually, my issue was that OS is now using index\_template and not "\_template" anymore. So I just needed to copy the jaeger templates, and change them into index\_template, insert them and voila.

Code:

```auto

  "index_patterns": [
    "jaeger-span-*"
  ],
  "priority": 400,
  "template": {

```

and then insert with:

```auto
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -v -X PUT https://$ES_HOST/_index_template/jaeger-span --data '
