Hi I don't know what I am doing what. I had in the same index in different type another field with different data type.

I have similar exception on a local client. It was happening on the junit tests against this local client. Putting Thread.sleap(60\*1000) on the local ES before the tests shut down improved it a bit but it still happens on every 20-30 builds. It looks like the ES is not able to to shut down properly and this breaks the index for the next start. The strange thing is this never happens on the test system which is doing much more intensive jmeter tests. The difference is that there ES never shuts down.

Deleting the type will not help in this case. The type and its correspondant data will still remain (and the offending field with different data type), they will just be marked as deleted. You can send an optimize request with only\_expundge\_deletes set, and it will optimize the index to remove deleted docs (note, it can be expensive on a large index).
