Some comments.

The mapping you created indicates that you are writing (I think) in an index called `newtesting` and the document type is `newtesting`.

But then you index with `PUT /my_locations/location/1` where index name is `my_locations` and type is `location`.

Are you sure your example is correct?

Could you provide a full recreation script as described in
