I am trying to set up an evaluation environment for the latest Kibana/ ES because I need to see what the new features are in Kibana (e.g.setting labels on table columns).

I have downloaded latest Kibana 5.0.-snapshot (4th Match 2016) from github and installed it.  
I have also installed the latest elasticsearch 5.0.0 snapshot using "esvm -b master" today also and this starts fine .

When I start kibana it is trying to create the the .kibana index in Elasticsearch and the following exception is being thrown by ES (see snippet below):

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks,  
Michael.

Sorry just to say that the Elasticsearch version is [5.0.0-SNAPSHOT] also.

It's from [elastic/elasticsearch#16877](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/16877) and there two open issues [elastic/kibana#6403](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6403) and [elastic/kibana#6409](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6409) for tracking the change.

Thanks Jason for pointing that out. At least I know it is not something I am going wrong.

So based on the comment "so all CI builds are breaking and Kibana is uninstallable" hopefully an update will come soon that fixes Kibana.

Regards,  
Michael.
