**Describe the feature** : **Elasticsearch version** 7.15 **`elasticsearch-py` version (`elasticsearch. __versionstr__ `)**: 7.15.2 Please make sure the major version matches the Elasticsearch server you are running. **Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior** : I am getting this deprecated message when running a python script in 7.15.2. It says... /mnt/isilon/SCRIPTS/bin/ICD10Import.py:347: DeprecationWarning: The 'body' parameter is deprecated for the 'index' API and will be removed in a future version. Instead use the 'document' parameter. See [Deprecation warnings in 7.15.0 pre-releases · Issue #1698 · elastic/elasticsearch-py · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/issues/1698) for more information I have read the suggested URL, and it says to replace body with document in the code as in... if not es.indices.exists(index="adn"): response = es.indices.create( index="adn", # body=icd10adn, document=icd10adn, #mappings=icd10adn, ignore=400 # ignore 400 already exists code ) When I do this, I get an error... /mnt/isilon/opt/python/bin/python3 ICD10Import.py --feed TEST --log DEBUG /mnt/isilon/SCRIPTS/bin/ICD10Import.py:310: DeprecationWarning: The 'body' parameter is deprecated for the 'create' API and will be removed in a future version. Instead use API parameters directly. See [Deprecation warnings in 7.15.0 pre-releases · Issue #1698 · elastic/elasticsearch-py · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/issues/1698) for more information response = es.indices.create( Traceback (most recent call last): File "/mnt/isilon/SCRIPTS/bin/ICD10Import.py", line 573, in main() File "/mnt/isilon/SCRIPTS/bin/ICD10Import.py", line 317, in main response = es.indices.create( File "/mnt/isilon/opt/python/lib/python3.10/site-packages/Elasticsearch/client/utils.py", line 301, in \_wrapped return func(\*args, params=params, headers=headers, \*\*kwargs) TypeError: IndicesClient.create() got an unexpected keyword argument 'document' [ingmar@ip-172-31-30-59 bin]$ /mnt/isilon/opt/python/bin/python3 ICD10Import.py --feed TEST --log DEBUG Traceback (most recent call last): File "/mnt/isilon/SCRIPTS/bin/ICD10Import.py", line 574, in main() File "/mnt/isilon/SCRIPTS/bin/ICD10Import.py", line 310, in main response = es.indices.create( File "/mnt/isilon/opt/python/lib/python3.10/site-packages/Elasticsearch/client/utils.py", line 301, in \_wrapped return func(\*args, params=params, headers=headers, \*\*kwargs) TypeError: IndicesClient.create() got an unexpected keyword argument 'document' So the suggestion as stated in [Deprecation warnings in 7.15.0 pre-releases · Issue #1698 · elastic/elasticsearch-py · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/issues/1698) doesn't seem to work? I saw another suggestion in [https://discuss.elastic.co/](https://discuss.elastic.co/) which said using mappings rather than body will get rid of the deprecated message such as if not es.indices.exists(index="adn"): response = es.indices.create( index="adn", # body=icd10adn, # document=icd10adn, mappings=icd10adn, ignore=400 # ignore 400 already exists code ) Using this caused the same deprecated message to be displayed. **Steps to reproduce** : Take this python code... if not es.indices.exists(index="alive"): # Note: i am not able to get the deprecated message to disappear. # The information at [Deprecation warnings in 7.15.0 pre-releases · Issue #1698 · elastic/elasticsearch-py · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/issues/1698) is too vague for me to # understand how to code around not using the body key value. # load the alive index with settings and mappings #config\_alive\_index = load\_json('../config/icd10alive.json') response = es.indices.create( index="alive", body=icd10alive, # document=icd10alive, # mappings=icd10alive, ignore=400 # ignore 400 already exists code ) get this message... mnt/isilon/opt/python/bin/python3 ICD10Import.py --feed TEST --log DEBUG /mnt/isilon/SCRIPTS/bin/ICD10Import.py:310: DeprecationWarning: The 'body' parameter is deprecated for the 'create' API and will be removed in a future version.

See [Deprecation warnings in 7.15.0 pre-releases · Issue #1698 · elastic/elasticsearch-py · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/issues/1698) for more information change the above code to if not es.indices.exists(index="alive"): # Note: i am not able to get the deprecated message to disappear. # The information at [Deprecation warnings in 7.15.0 pre-releases · Issue #1698 · elastic/elasticsearch-py · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/issues/1698) is too vague for me to # understand how to code around not using the body key value. # load the alive index with settings and mappings #config\_alive\_index = load\_json('../config/icd10alive.json') response = es.indices.create( # index="alive", # body=icd10alive, document=icd10alive, # mappings=icd10alive, ignore=400 # ignore 400 already exists code ) and then I get this error...

What do I need to add to the stated code block in the above to get rid of the deprecated message, since the provided solution in [Deprecation warnings in 7.15.0 pre-releases · Issue #1698 · elastic/elasticsearch-py · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/issues/1698) doesn't seem to work to get rid of the message.
