Hi,
I have a big problem with keyword type. We updated our kibana version from 5 to 6. We used field without .keyword type. But .keyword came with new version of kibana. We dont want to use .keyword.
Can you help me this situation?
Thanks,
Cem.

It comes from your mappings in Elasticsearch, not from Kibana - Kibana is just reporting what it finds.
If you don't like the mappings you can change them.

I'd probably start by asking: are you sure you want to? All use cases are different, but I'm generally finding I want to add keyword fields rather than remove them (I don't do very much full text searching).

Hi @TimWard
Yes i want to do. Because, we updated kibana 5 to 6. We have kibana 5 visualizations. All fields name have not .keyword in kibana 5. But now, all fields have .keywords.
Thanks,
Cem
