I was trying to specify the type : lets us suppose I have already a mapping available for index . Lets say type is "mydata". If i talk about csv filter in Logstash it has the feature to specify the type =\> "mycsv", so that data will indexed on that type only. Is is not possible in case of jdbc plugin ?  
by default jdbc-input creates type "logs", if I am explicitly defining the type logs in index first and then trying to index the data using jdbc-input it is not indexing the data instead it is showing some unusual behavior..  
Any idea why ?
