Hi,

I get the following error while creating an index pattern.

![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/3/c337d4ef5361d629c5f19096cc2240d2bfe32196.png)

Has anyone encountered this before? The index has been created properly and I can run different queries on it successfully through Dev Tools.

I had created the same index pattern a few days ago and then subsequently deleted it. I am trying it re-create it again, is that the reason for the error that the same index pattern was deleted a few days ago?

Thanks.

Can you show the logs from the kibana server at this time?

In my index I had a field of type geo\_shape, and tree as quadtree. Changing the tree from quadtree to geohash for the geo\_shape datatype solved the problem. I don't know what was the exact reason why this error occurred.
