I have been working my way through the Getting Started with Kibana tutorial ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/getting-started.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/getting-started.html)) and ran into some issues with loading the Bank dataset into Elasticsearch.

> curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/bank/\_bulk?pretty' --data-binary @accounts.json  
> {

> "type" : "action\_request\_validation\_exception",

> "status" : 400

I was able to load the Shakespeare and Logstach data sets without any issue.

That's our bad, I've raised [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5298](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5298) to get it fixed.

Thanks for reporting it!
