I'm trying to run logstash config files on ELK 6.0.0 docker image but I got this error:  
Unknown setting 'index\_type' for elasticsearch

I am retrieving Spark streaming stats and send it to elasticsearch, but even this simple task returns an error. Here is my code:

> input {  
> graphite {  
> codec =\> "json"  
> port =\> 10513  
> host =\> "0.0.0.0"  
> }  
> }
> 
> output {  
> #stdout { codec =\> "json" }  
> elasticsearch {  
> codec =\> "json"  
> hosts =\> "localhost"  
> index =\> "spark-%{+YYYY.MM.DD}"  
> index\_type =\> "spark"  
> }  
> }
