What's you use case ?  
\_type is deprecrecated since Elasticsearch 6.x and will be removed completely in 8  
\_doc is the defaut, but it's more a Rest endpoint  
If you could explain more your issue, we may guide you in a different way to achieve it

Don't use `_type`, create another, normal field in your doc called `type` and just use that.

I’m using streamsets for reading excel file from ftp folder  
And i want to store these files content into elasticsearch ( using http client )  
The the problem is there are multiple files and create topic for each file will be hard  
Now i want to create one index (data\_index) and create a type for each file into this index with the filename  
I want something like (if possible):  
Index\_data  
`ˋ`  
{  
"file1":{

},  
"file2":{

},  
…  
}  
`ˋ`

There is a good example of before and after on [this page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/removal-of-types.html)

The tweet and user example.

Most likely you can just follow this pattern.
