Geopoint requires deprecated Elasticsearch mapping types

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I would like to add Geopoint data to my index.

The Elasticsearch 7.6 geoip processor states I need to add the geopoint type to my index mappings.
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-geoip.html

This is the code for that that I've used in ES 6.5.

PUT _template/log_data/_mappings
    {
        "properties" : {
          "@timestamp": { "type": "date"},
          "@version": { "type": "keyword"},
    	  "src addr": {"type" : "ip"},
    	  "dest addr": {"type" : "ip"},
    	  "log_type" : {"type" : "keyword"},
          "source_geoip" : {
    	    "dynamic": true,
    	    "properties" : {
    	      "location" : { "type" : "geo_point" }, 
    	      "latitude" : { "type" : "half_float" },
              "longitude" : { "type" : "half_float" }
    		  }
    		},
          "destination_geoip" : {
    	    "dynamic": true,
    	    "properties" : {
    	      "location" : { "type" : "geo_point" }, 
    		  "latitude" : { "type" : "half_float" },
              "longitude" : { "type" : "half_float" }
    	}
          }
        }
     }

And yet I get this error:

{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "illegal_argument_exception",
        "reason": "Types cannot be provided in put mapping requests, unless the include_type_name parameter is set to true."
      }
    ],
    "type": "illegal_argument_exception",
    "reason": "Types cannot be provided in put mapping requests, unless the include_type_name parameter is set to true."
  },
  "status": 400
}

Can someone tell me what I'm missing here?

Thanks.

You can omit the type, as Elasticsearch 7 does not make use of types anymore. Also, a workaround is mentioned in the error message.

See https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/removal-of-types.html
