Could you tell us what logs are required to analysis further. I hope i have shared the required info. Kindly let me know what logs are required. So that i can try reproduce and share it. And is there any way we can modify the index type without deleting it? ---

I don't need logs at this stage. I need a script that I can play to reproduce the problem. > And is there any way we can modify the index type without deleting it? No. You need to reindex. You can look at the reindex API for that. ---

here is the script kind which help you to create the index and try to add the data. In script 1st data set will be added(which is having ipv4) while the 2nd set will not added(which is having ipv6) ``` curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/register" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "mappings":{ "register":{ "properties":{ "Uuid":{ "type":"keyword" }, "NodeType":{ "type":"keyword" }, "Address":{ "type":"ip" }, "NodeName":{ "type":"keyword" } } } } }' curl -X POST "localhost:9200/register/register" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "NodeName" : "cfx", "Uuid" : "yuidje", "NodeType" : "cscf", "Address" : "1.2.3.4" }' curl -X POST "localhost:9200/register/register" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "NodeName" : "cfx", "Uuid" : "yuidje", "NodeType" : "cscf", "Address" : "2a00:8a00:a000:4000:0:0:a67:5c16" }' ``` And i saw the reindex portion and it say that index name will be changed which actaully is not possible for my application as we have many program accessing with old index name. Could you kindly let me know how we can change the indextype & mapping type alone. say at present i have below mapping \> { > ``` > "settings":{ > }, > "mappings":{ > " **register**":{ > "properties":{ > "Uuid":{ > "type":"keyword" > }, > "NodeType":{ > "type":"keyword" > }, > "Address":{ > "type":" **keyword**" > }, > "NodeName":{ > "type":"keyword" > } > } > } > } > }` > > ``` and i want to convert it to below mapping(highlighted the required change part) > ``` > { > "settings":{ > }, > "mappings":{ > " **register1**":{ > "properties":{ > "Uuid":{ > "type":"keyword" > }, > "NodeType":{ > "type":"keyword" > }, > "Address":{ > "type":" **ip**" > }, > "NodeName":{ > "type":"keyword" > } > } > } > } > }` > > ``` ---

Does this script fails for you? Or works? > And i saw the reindex portion and it say that index name will be changed which actaully is not possible for my application as we have many program accessing with old index name. Yes. You need anyway to create a new index. This is why we are highly recommending in our trainings and talks to use aliases from the start. So you can switch the alias to a new index without stopping your application. Here I'm afraid you will have to drop the index and rebuild it. What you can do to optimize time wise your operation is to: - Reindex in a new index like `register-01` - When done, delete index `register` - Create an alias named `register` for index `register-01` The last 2 operations should take a very little time. I of course suggest that you test this scenario and your script in a test environment. ---

I just tried this script in Kibana and everything works fine. At least with 6.3.0. ```auto DELETE /register PUT /register { "mappings": { "register": { "properties": { "Uuid": { "type": "keyword" }, "NodeType": { "type": "keyword" }, "Address": { "type": "ip" }, "NodeName": { "type": "keyword" } } } } } POST /register/register { "NodeName" : "cfx", "Uuid" : "yuidje", "NodeType" : "cscf", "Address" : "1.2.3.4" } POST /register/register { "NodeName" : "cfx", "Uuid" : "yuidje", "NodeType" : "cscf", "Address" : "2a00:8a00:a000:4000:0:0:a67:5c16" } GET /register/_search ``` This gives: ```auto { "took": 38, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 5, "successful": 5, "skipped": 0, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 2, "max_score": 1, "hits": [ { "_index": "register", "_type": "register", "_id": "0w0eAmQBkD3wIOkZZcWE", "_score": 1, "_source": { "NodeName": "cfx", "Uuid": "yuidje", "NodeType": "cscf", "Address": "2a00:8a00:a000:4000:0:0:a67:5c16" } }, { "_index": "register", "_type": "register", "_id": "0g0eAmQBkD3wIOkZTsUa", "_score": 1, "_source": { "NodeName": "cfx", "Uuid": "yuidje", "NodeType": "cscf", "Address": "1.2.3.4" } } ] } } ``` ---

Are you by any chance on a very old version of Elasticsearch? If I recall correctly I think support for IPv6 addresses was added [in Elasticsearch 5.0](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/17746). ---
