Rejecting mapping update to [test] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [type1, doc]

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I'm following Removal of mapping types | Elasticsearch Reference [6.0] | Elastic, by creating new index with single type of document and trying to perform _reindex:

My elasticsearch has index with _type: type1 and while using _reindex, I got following error:

"failures": [
{
"index": "test",
"type": "type1",
"id": "X",
"cause": {
"type": "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason": "Rejecting mapping update to [test] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [type1, doc]"
},
"status": 400
},

Can Reindex API be used to change _type? painless script or logstash?
maybe someone can provide examples?

Please advise.

Can you show the reindex request you sent?

3 
POST _reindex
{
  "source": {
    "index": "myoldindex"
  },
  "dest": {
    "index": "test"
  }
}

How many types are in the old index?

5

some have up to 3, but usually just 1.

Then you would probably be better off splitting those up into different indices.

that's what i'm trying to do with _reindex, I can't figure out how to do it with painless script..

POST _reindex
{
  "source": {
    "index": "myoldindex",
    “type”: “type1”
  },
  "dest": {
    "index": "test",
    “type”: “doc”
  }
}
