Hi, all  
The python elasticsearch version I used is

import elasticsearch  
print elasticsearch. **version**  
(5, 0, 1)

the mappings is  
request\_body = {  
'mappings':{  
'post': {  
'properties': {  
'title': {  
'type': 'text',  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Should I install the elasticsearch written by java ?

Thanks a lot!
