"Limit of total fields [1000] in index [firebase] has been exceeded"},"status":400}"}

1. I run flashlight-master to extract firebase data and inject it into elasticSearch.
2. There are 2053 fields that need injected. I need to increase the total field count.

PUT firebase  
{  
"settings" :  
{  
"index.mapping.total\_fields.limit": 2000  
}  
}

When I try to change limit to 2000, I receive an error that the index already exists.

I create an Index pattern called firebase. It had 2053 fields. If I do a get on firebase, I can see all the fields. When I try to import data from firebase into the elasticsearch I get an too many fields error.

This Put final worked!

PUT firebase/\_settings  
{  
"index.mapping.total\_fields.limit": 2200  
}

{
"index.mapping.total_fields.limit": 2000
