Good Day

I hope someone can possible help me. I have a 5 node ES cluster. The app writes data to our index. When there are no replicas on the index all is fine. As soon as i add replicas I get the following:  
Not sure where the issue is. Mappings maybe? (We only use long type on current\_time and that is less than 32 chars.)

Can you provide the mapping?
