First of all, I did tried to upsert to Elastic Search with document. So I used org.elasticsearch.action.update.UpdateRequest object to upsert process.  
The code is blow.

```auto
String type = map.remove("<%=UPDATE%>")+"";
String index = map.remove("<%=INDEX%>")+"";
String id = map.remove("<%=ID%>")+"";

<%=cid%>_request.add(new org.elasticsearch.action.update.UpdateRequest(index, type, id).doc(map, org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentType.JSON).docAsUpsert(<%=DOC_AS_UPSERT%>));

```

The problem is that when I had put the document without index mapping, it was so successfully working but what if index mapping was exist before or created, it put out message as blow

```auto
ElasticsearchException[Elasticsearch exception [type=illegal_argument_exception, reason=Rejecting mapping update to [test-es1] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [_doc, UPDATE]]]

```

and failed to upsert.

When I had been removing second parameter of UpdateRequest object, everything was so good working. Successful code is down below.

```auto
String type = map.remove("<%=TYPE%>")+"";
String index = map.remove("<%=INDEX%>")+"";
String id = map.remove("<%=ID%>")+"";

<%=cid%>_request.add(new org.elasticsearch.action.update.UpdateRequest(index, id).doc(map, org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentType.JSON).docAsUpsert(<%=DOC_AS_UPSERT%>));

```

Welcome!

It's unclear to me what exactly is sent to elasticsearch. At least it seems that you are using `UPDATE` instead of `update` in case it makes sense.

Could you share what is sent to elasticsearch? Not Java code please.

> UpdateRequest

what I mean is when I created 'UpdateRequest' object to upsert with type as seconds parameter of constructor, Elastic Search server responded reject message out.  
But after I removed type parameter on UpdateRequest object, everything is OK. see below.

new UpdateRequest(index, type, id) -----------\> It's out reject message.  
new UpdateRequest(index, id) ------------\> It's OK.

Elastic Search's reject message is below.

ElasticsearchException[Elasticsearch exception [type=illegal\_argument\_exception, reason=Rejecting mapping update to [test-es1] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [\_doc, UPDATE]]]

Is there a way for us to reproduce the problem? Could you share a full code which helps to reproduce what is happening?

Which language are you using?

Could you try with the same version of the client?
