I'm trying to add multiple mappings into single index at AWS Elasticsearch Service
Does AWS has unwritten limits for setting up multiple types for one index ?
Regarding to best practices from: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/mapping.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/mapping.html)
I'm putting same mapping structure for different type in single index just to limit entries by its type (different products).
The case is that adding about 200 types into index is executed quite fast, but after this limitation (I'm currently at 416th element) it takes about 2 minutes to execute PUT method, and returns response exception from AWS without any message - but in the end type is added. This is working but adding new types is like a pain.
Please advise!
