Hi There,

I am trying to reindex from a remote cluster, I see below exceptions.

Can someone help me in fixing it.

```auto
      "index" : "comments",
      "type" : "search_by_query",
      "id" : "AWZxGty-wYpUZq_Q6kW1",
      "cause" : {
        "type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
        "reason" : "Rejecting mapping update to [comments] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [comments, search_by_query]"
      },
      "status" : 400

```
