Please format your code using the code tags, it's impossible to see what the problem is here as yaml is space sensitive.

also, please copy&paste the exception returned by elasticsearch, after you reformatted your code - which is especially important here, because we are relying on indentations.
In addition also specify the Elasticsearch version you are using.
