Exception indexing docs having a field with same name as the type

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I tried to index the following json under the search index and test1 type:

{"test1" : "test1", "test2" : "test2"}

But I get the following exception:

org.elasticsearch.action.support.replication.ReplicationShardOperationFailedException:

If I change the type name, or the json content, everything works fine.

Am I missing something or is this an actual bug?
Thanks!

Its not a bug, its a limitation in how elasticsearch works currently. I plan
to remove it in the future if possible.
