Hi,

I am trying to add type for my data table columns but it doesnt seem to work.

filter {  
if [type] == "statistics" {  
csv {  
separator =\> ","  
columns =\> ["Queue","closed successful","closed unsuccessful","merged","new","open","Sum"]  
convert =\> { "closed successful" =\> "integer" "closed unsuccessful" =\> "integer" "merged" =\> "integer" "new" =\> "integer" "open" =\> "integer" "Sum" =\> "integer" }  
}  
}  
}

Here is the mapping result

"logstash-2018.04.17": {  
"mappings": {  
"doc": {  
"Sum.keyword": {  
"full\_name": "Sum.keyword",  
"mapping": {  
"keyword": {  
"type": "keyword",  
"ignore\_above": 256  
}  
}  
},  
"Sum": {  
"full\_name": "Sum",  
"mapping": {  
"Sum": {  
**"type": "text"** ,  
"norms": false,  
"fields": {  
"keyword": {  
"type": "keyword",  
"ignore\_above": 256  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

This is solved after I deleted previous day's index.
