hi everyone,  
it is the first time that i have to deal with this problem , when i run my mapping for my index like this 🙂  
curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/newsout/\_mapping/test-type" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' {  
"properties": {  
"author": { "type": "keyword" },  
"date": {  
"type": "date",  
"format": "yyyy-MM-dd"  
},  
"description": {  
"type": "text",  
"analyzer": "french"  
},  
"topics": { "type": "keyword" },  
"link": { "type": "text", "index": "true" },  
"locations": { "type": "keyword" },  
"organizations": { "type": "keyword" },  
"persons": { "type": "keyword" },  
"text": {  
"type": "text",  
"analyzer": "french"  
},  
"title": {  
"type": "text",  
"analyzer": "french"  
}  
}  
}'

the output will be ---\>`{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"cluster_block_exception","reason":"blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete (api)];"}],"type":"cluster_block_exception","reason":"blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete (api)];"},"status":403}`

i don't know what kind of problem it is!

thank you
