We are having ELK 6.1.1, we don't have any indices but we still have error for mapping conflit when new event come. Any idea why?

```
[2018-12-20T11:48:41,891][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Could not index event to 
Elasticsearch. {:status=>400, :action=>["index", {:_id=>nil, :_index=>"logstash-2018.12.20", 
:_type=>"sbc_event", :_routing=>nil}, 2018-12-20T10:48:41.000Z %{host} %{message}], :response=> 
{"index"=>{"_index"=>"logstash-2018.12.20", "_type"=>"sbc_event", "_id"=>"AWfLO1KCYlwgs24PRNeG", 
"status"=>400, "error"=>{"type"=>"illegal_argument_exception", "reason"=>"[geoip.location] is defined 
as an object in mapping [sbc_event] but this name is already used for a field in other types"}}}}

```

Logstash settings:

```
   elasticsearch {
	template => "/etc/logstash/templates/elasticsearch-logstash-template.json"
	template_name => "logstash"
            document_type => "sbc_event"
            index => "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
	manage_template => true
	template_overwrite => true
     }

```

Mapping (just geoip part):

```
   "geoip": {
        "dynamic": false,
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "ip": {
            "type": "ip"
          },
          "latitude": {
            "type": "float"
          },
          "country_name": {
            "index": true,
            "type": "keyword"
          },
          "country_code2": {
            "index": true,
            "type": "keyword"
          },
          "location": {
            "type": "geo_point"
          },
          "longitude": {
            "type": "float"
          }
        }
      }
```
