I am trying to bulk upload my data to ES but it ends up showing parsing exception. I want to create mapping for my index but the main problem is i have more than 70 columns in my dataset, for which specifying data type individually is not possible. Is there any other way or do i need to set them manually? ---

It's a field. It's just an example of a document which doesn't have any fixed mapping. At the end of the page you have 2 links which introduce dynamic mapping. Did you read? ---

@dadoonet thanks for your replies, I would like to know how would you approach to create index mapping for the data in the link:- > **[notepad.pw](https://notepad.pw/prbhvgo)** > > Save your notes online for free and share them with friends! This is just a document and the time\_stamp field is giving me hard time. ---

What is the mapping you'd like to have with those documents? ---

I have approx 50,000 entries in the time\_stamp column but elastic is giving a hard time to display the correct data type for the time stamp rather ends up giving text there as well. Even when i have turned the format off. And i also did this:- PUT my\_index { "mappings": { "properties": { "date": { "type": "date", "format": "HH.mm.ss.SSS" #valid format in their official documentation. } } } } But ends up showing Rejecting mapping update to [latest] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [\_doc, purge] Even though i have only one entry in the index. ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/5/25e3ebf467e73e957daa1956e4e59d287e28532f.png) ---

That's because you have already something defined in your index. Drop it. If you still have problems please provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible. A full reproduction script will help readers to understand, reproduce and if needed fix your problem. It will also most likely help to get a faster answer. ---
