I am not able to create index on the elasticsearch by logstash .

I was able to create the index when I used it first time , but then I deleted the index, modified by logstash pipeline , and now I am not able to create.

Below is my logstash config

# Sample Logstash configuration for creating a simple

# Beats -\> Logstash -\> Elasticsearch pipeline.

input {  
file {  
path =\> "C:/Users/deepak.sharma/Documents/officedocs/samplefile.txt"  
}  
}  
filter {  
csv {  
separator =\> "|"  
columns =\> ["info","timestamp","transactionid","time","messageid","flag","applicationservice","time1","application"]  
}

## } output { elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["127.0.0.1:9200"] index =\> "analyze-profile-logs" } }

output from logstash debug

I tried the suggestion on a few other discussions to downgrade the Logstash version to 6.2.4 and it is working , with Java 8 , Earlier I had java 11 . Wanted to know if the latest version 7.4.2 still have the bug .
