I've recently started using ES 5.0 on Elastic Cloud. The logs are showing me lots of warnings of the form:

[WARN][org.elasticsearch.deprecation.common.ParseField] Deprecated field [type] used, replaced by [match\_phrase and match\_phrase\_prefix query]

I don't know where to look to fix these warnings, and Google isn't showing me anything. Any hints?

I suspect you are using a `match` query with eg. `type: phrase`, which should be replaced with a `match_phrase` query.

I figured out what it was - logstash was applying a pre-5.0 template to the logs, which was then causing all the warnings
