Trying to create a build a sample dashboard based on this sample given: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-build-dashboard.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-build-dashboard.html)  
Facing following errors:

1. Trying to set mappings as below:  
PUT /shakespeare  
{  
"mappings": {  
"properties": {  
"speaker": {"type": "keyword"},  
"play\_name": {"type": "keyword"},  
"line\_id": {"type": "integer"},  
"speech\_number": {"type": "integer"}  
}  
}  
}

Above results in error: "error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "mapper\_parsing\_exception",  
"reason": "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [play\_name : {type=keyword}] [speech\_number : {type=integer}] [speaker : {type=keyword}] [line\_id : {type=integer}]"  
}  
],

1. Next, trying to load the dataset (ignoring above) which too fails:  
curl -u kibanaadmin -H 'Content-Type: application/x-ndjson' -XPOST 146.89.203.212:80/bank/\_bulk?pretty --data-binary @accounts.json  
Results in:  
{"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"Not Found"}

Kibana version is 6.8.10
