I have a new index and I am trying to create the corresponding index and I am getting the following error
I am running Elasticsearch 2.4.2:
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"Field [aud\_avs\_p] cannot be analyzed and have doc values"}],"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"Failed to parse mapping [logs]: Field [aud\_avs\_p] cannot be analyzed and have doc values","caused\_by":{"type":"mapper\_parsing\_exception","reason":"Field [aud\_avs\_p] cannot be analyzed and have doc values"}

In 2.x, analyzed strings cannot also have doc values enabled. You'll have to either change that field to a `not_analyzed` string, or remove `doc_values`.
In 5.x, we introduce a distinction in how strings are specified with keyword / text. See: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/string.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/string.html) for more details
