I am installing Akeneo on my server. It requires Elasticsearch installation as dependency. I have installed elastic search on my server.  
Here its version:  
root@s138225:/# curl "localhost:9200"  
{  
"name" : "Brute I",  
"cluster\_name" : "elasticsearch",  
"version" : {  
"number" : "2.4.0",  
"build\_hash" : "ce9f0c7394dee074091dd1bc4e9469251181fc55",  
"build\_timestamp" : "2016-08-29T09:14:17Z",  
"build\_snapshot" : false,  
"lucene\_version" : "5.5.2"  
},  
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"  
}

Now on the installation of Akeneo, it gives error when resetting elasticsearch indexes. It gives this error:

{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"No handler for type [keyword] declared on field [identifier]"}],"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"Failed to parse  
mapping [pim\_catalog\_product]: No handler for type [keyword] declared on field [identifier]","caused\_by":{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"No handler for type [keyword] declared on  
field [identifier]"}},"status":400}

Please let me know how to solve this.

You need at least elasticsearch 5 for this
