Hey

Wow....elasticsearch..what is the below error in English.

Does kibana work? Given the lack of documentation seems seems very unstable.

I have data in ES, see it in kibana, should be able to chart...done! But not so.

```

There's a bunch of similar ones here - [https://discuss.elastic.co/search?q=Field%20data%20loading%20is%20forbidden%20category%3A7](https://discuss.elastic.co/search?q=Field%20data%20loading%20is%20forbidden%20category%3A7)

Do you have a `city.raw` field?
