Dots in field names on Elasticsearch 5.5

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I'm getting the "dot not allowed in field name" exception, on a 5.5 cluster on AWS (elasticsearch service), the odd thing is that this doesn't happen on my local ES running on a docker container, I'd assume this is a configuration issue on AWS side, I read everywhere that dots in field names are allowed in 5.x so I'm confused on what is triggering this behaviour and if there's a way to debug this

What request are you making? At a quick glance, I don't see that error message in the 5.x codebase.
