elasticsearch.BadRequestError: BadRequestError(400, 'illegal\_argument\_exception', 'Action/metadata line [1] contains an unknown parameter [\_type]')  
How do you resolve this error? I'm trying to push the data through my python code.

Which version of Elasticsearch are oyu using? Which version of the Python client?
