I am attempting to use ElasticSearch 7.x with the new Rank Features data type. However, it doesn't seem to be compatible with Kibana. When making a Kibana Index Pattern, no fields are found from the sample documents I've created, and I see this error in the logs:

```

```

Before I file this in Github as a bug, I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something or doing it wrong. I'm able to make Index Patterns for normal documents without rank\_feature(s) fields, just not for those that contain them.

I added this detail to [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/40385](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/40385).
