Hi I am using ES 7.1 and created an index. Now I am trying to read it from Spark but getting an error because my index does not have a type.

I am following the examples located here [GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop: Elasticsearch real-time search and analytics natively integrated with Hadoop](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop#apache-spark). How can an index be read with no type?

e.g.

instead of

```auto
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
sc.esRDD("radio/artists", "?q=me*")

```

I want to do

```auto
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
sc.esRDD("radio", "?q=me*")

```
