Hey there, I created a custom track from an existing index that includes several document types (at least 3). Can I know how to use this track during the import phase to have the correct imported type? If I specify target-type field in the corpora section, every document will be imported with that type but this behavior is wrong. Could I separate the json files by types? Should I use other parameters? ---

Which version of Elasticsearch are you using? Document types are being deprecated so recent versions do not support multiple document types in a single index. ---

Which version of Rally are you using? The most recent version does no longer support versions prior to Elasticsearch 6.0. ---

Sorry, as mentioned by @Christian_Dahlqvist, the versions you're running are no longer supported by Rally. ---
