As we know that the elasticsearch has deprecated types in 6.2.0 release how do we index data to an elastic search index.
```
public class ElasticSearchWriter {
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ElasticSearchWriter.class);
private static RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(RestClient.builder(new HttpHost(
"https://search-ces.amazonaws.com/", 9200, "https")));;
public static void writeToElasticSearch(String jsonString) throws JsonProcessingException, IOException {
ObjectMapper om = new ObjectMapper();
JsonNode actualObject = om.readTree(jsonString);
String documentId = actualObject.get("id").textValue();
IndexRequest request = new IndexRequest("testdata", "data", documentId);
request.source(jsonString, XContentType.JSON);
client.indexAsync(request, new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void onResponse(IndexResponse indexResponse) {
LOGGER.info("The Index ID is :: " + indexResponse.getId());
LOGGER.info("The Index is :: " + indexResponse.getIndex());
LOGGER.info("The type is :: " + indexResponse.getType());
}
@Override
public void onFailure(Exception e) {
}
});
}
}
```
How do I instantiate the IndexRequest Object without using the type argument?
IndexRequest request = new IndexRequest("testdata", "data", documentId);
When I go through the constructors I did not find any constructor with IndexRequest(index,documentid);
Please help.

Types are deprecated. Not removed.
This is a long process to get them removed.
For now, I'd recommend just using `"doc"` as your type name.

Hi David,
I am trying to insert a record under the index /testdata/doc. But, the code is not working. I would like to know if I am using the API in a right way. Please help.
public class ElasticSearchWriter {
```
//private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ElasticSearchWriter.class);
private static RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(RestClient.builder(new HttpHost(
"localhost", 9200, "http")));
public static void writeToElasticSearch(String jsonString) throws JsonProcessingException, IOException {
ObjectMapper om = new ObjectMapper();
JsonNode actualObject = om.readTree(jsonString);
String documentId = actualObject.get("id").textValue();
IndexRequest request = new IndexRequest("testdata", "doc",documentId);
request.source(jsonString, XContentType.JSON);
client.indexAsync(request, new ActionListener() {
public void onResponse(IndexResponse indexResponse) {
System.out.println("The Index ID is :: " + indexResponse.getId());
System.out.println("The Index is :: " + indexResponse.getIndex());
System.out.println("The type is :: " + indexResponse.getType());
}
public void onFailure(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
});
client.close();
}
```
}

Could you please point me to any working code which creates an index with mapping and inserts document to the ElasticSearch.

Elasticsearch 6.x does not longer support _multiple_ document types per index, but still requires you to specify a document type. You should be able to continue using the code as before.
However, if you try to index a document under a different document type than the first one used on an index, the request will be rejected.

How do you know? How do you test that?
I'm sorry but I don't have the full picture here so it's hard to tell.
