but i turn off query feature ,no problem.

turn on

```auto
{
  "size": 500,
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "filter": [
        {
          "bool": {
            "should": [ {
                "exists": {
                  "field": "_source"
                }
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

```

turn off no filter \_source

why this index `kuery,query` can add this filter.but other index no can add filter.

kibana version 6.4.0
