When I used curl to create my template, it works fine. But when I used High Level REST it gave me the exception: ```auto org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchException: Elasticsearch exception [type=mapper_parsing_exception, reason=Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [document : {properties={cx_date={index=false, type=date}, doi_derived_from_publication={type=text}, publishing_poc={type=text}, sources={type=text}, cat_id={type=keyword}, title={type=text, fields={keyword={type=keyword}}}, coverages={type=text}, content={type=text}, DOI_end={type=date}, original_filename={type=text}, title_classification={type=text}, source_numbers={type=text}, summary={type=text}, requirements={type=text}, types={type=keyword}, identifiers={type=text}, topics={type=text}, cat_processed={type=date}, serial_number={type=text}, published={type=date}, classification={type=keyword}, url={type=text, fields={keyword={type=keyword}}}, publishing_organization={type=keyword}, cx={index=false, type=text}, special_instruction={type=text}, DOI_start={type=date}, contains_attachments={type=text}, cat_source={type=keyword}}}]] at org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchException.innerFromXContent(ElasticsearchException.java:509) ~[elasticsearch-6.8.3.jar!/:6.8.3] at org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchException.fromXContent(ElasticsearchException.java:420) ~[elasticsearch-6.8.3.jar!/:6.8.3] at org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchException.innerFromXContent(ElasticsearchException.java:450) ~[elasticsearch-6.8.3.jar!/:6.8.3] at org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchException.failureFromXContent(ElasticsearchException.java:616) ~[elasticsearch-6.8.3.jar!/:6.8.3] at org.elasticsearch.rest.BytesRestResponse.errorFromXContent(BytesRestResponse.java:169) ~[elasticsearch-6.8.3.jar!/:6.8.3] at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.parseEntity(RestHighLevelClient.java:2053) ~[elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client-6.8.3.jar!/:6.8.3] at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.parseResponseException(RestHighLevelClient.java:2030) ~[elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client-6.8.3.jar!/:6.8.3] at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.internalPerformRequest(RestHighLevelClient.java:1777) ~[elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client-6.8.3.jar!/:6.8.3] at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.performRequest(RestHighLevelClient.java:1734) ~[elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client-6.8.3.jar!/:6.8.3] at org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient.performRequestAndParseEntity(RestHighLevelClient.java:1696) ~[elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client-6.8.3.jar!/:6.8.3] at org.elasticsearch.client.IndicesClient.putTemplate(IndicesClient.java:1539) ~[elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client-6.8.3.jar!/:6.8.3] ... ``` ```auto curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT 'http://:9200/_template/' -d @templates/documentTemplate.json ``` ```auto try { PutIndexTemplateRequest request = new PutIndexTemplateRequest(); request.source(documentTemplateJsonAsString, XContentType.JSON); client.indices().putTemplate(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT).isAcknowledge()) } catch (final IOException e) { ... } ``` ```auto { "order": 0, "version": 2, "index_patterns": [ "documents_*" ], "settings": { "codec": "best_compression", "index": { "unassigned": { "node_left": { "delayed_timeout": "10m" } }, "number_of_shards": "5", "number_of_replicas": "1", "blocks": { "read_only_allow_delete": "false" } } }, "mappings": { "document": { "properties": {...} } } ``` Elasticsearch version: 6.8.7 Thank you for your help! ---

which version of the HLRC are you using in your java project? ---

can you share the whole snippet including the data you put into the request, so that others can reproduce? ---

Not sure if this exception gives any more clues ... ```auto "message": "Elasticsearch exception [type=mapper_parsing_exception, reason=Failed to parse mapping [_doc]: Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [document : {properties={cx_date={index=false, type=date}, doi_derived_from_publication={type=text}, publishing_poc={type=text}, sources={type=text}, cat_id={type=keyword}, title={type=text, fields={keyword={type=keyword}}}, coverages={type=text}, content={type=text}, DOI_end={type=date}, original_filename={type=text}, title_classification={type=text}, source_numbers={type=text}, summary={type=text}, requirements={type=text}, types={type=keyword}, identifiers={type=text}, topics={type=text}, cat_processed={type=date}, serial_number={type=text}, published={type=date}, classification={type=keyword}, url={type=text, fields={keyword={type=keyword}}}, publishing_organization={type=keyword}, cx={index=false, type=text}, special_instruction={type=text}, DOI_start={type=date}, contains_attachments={type=text}, cat_source={type=keyword}}}]]" ``` ---

I am confused. the exception mentions `_doc` but it is nowhere mentioned in your code snippets. Just to be sure: Are those JSON snippets the right ones? ---

Those are the correct one. ---
