My ES does not show my newly added field. (I add it in my logstash config's whitelist), and the logging speed is 10X times slower. Is this expected, if I suddenly add a field in my existing index (which has been grown everyday for the last five months)? PS: then i also tried **put mapping** for this new field, but it doesn't allow me, Error is exceed 1000 field limit for each index. ---
