hi,

I have upgraded to the latest version of elasticsearch,  
when I use the following mapping

```
{
    "mappings": {

        "_default_": {
            "_all": { "enabled": false },
            "_source": { "enabled": true },
            "_routing": { "required": true },
            "dynamic": true,

            "properties": {
                "time_stamp": { "type": "date", "format": "epoch_second" },

```

In Kibana's console with the `GET _mapping` command I see that

```
"time_stamp": {
            "type": "long"
          }

```

Could you please advise what I am doing wrong, and the `time_stamp` field does not recognized as a `date` field ?

```
{
“version” : {
“number” : “6.4.0”,
“build_flavor” : “default”,
“build_type” : “rpm”,
“build_hash” : “595516e”,
“build_date” : “2018-08-17T23:18:47.308994Z”,
“build_snapshot” : false,
“lucene_version” : “7.4.0”,
“minimum_wire_compatibility_version” : “5.6.0”,
“minimum_index_compatibility_version” : “5.0.0”
},
“tagline” : “You Know, for Search”
}
```
