I am loading the logs sample dataset into Kibana that is documented here - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-load-dataset.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-load-dataset.html).

After creating the mapping provided in that document, I am getting the following error importing the data for all documents:

{  
"index" : {  
"\_index" : "logstash-2015.05.20",  
"\_type" : "log",  
"\_id" : "hF2M1moBs\_6QYR0Ilu8A",  
"status" : 400,  
"error" : {  
"type" : "illegal\_argument\_exception",  
"reason" : "mapper [geo.coordinates] of different type, current\_type [geo\_point], merged\_type [ObjectMapper]"  
}  
}  
},

I just attempted it from the 7.1 docs and it worked correctly. What version of the stack are you trying this on, and are you looking at the right version in the docs? You can see the version it's showing you in the title at the top of the page, and you can select a different version from the sidebar on the right.
