Hi,

I am using Elasticsearch GA 5.0.0.

My log file has a field called `serverName`. It has servers `server_a`, `server_b`, and `server_c`. This is the situation. I pick one specific date from the date picker. From the side panel, when I click the servers term, it expands and shows me `server_a`, `server_b`, and `server_c`. When I click / positive filter `server_a`, I can see there are 100 entries. I then went to visualization and created a Data Table, with metric as `Count` and then `buckets`\>`Split Rows`\>`Aggregation`\>`Terms`. In field, I select `Terms` and then picks `serverName` from it. When I run it , I get a yellow banner on top saying;

```
Courier Fetch: 25 of 70 shards failed.

```

In the table it shows 75 entries for `server_a`. Then I selected `serverName.keyword` and run it. Now the yellow banner is gone and 75 changed to 25.

75+25=100.

What I understood is that some of my entries have `serverName.keyword`, and some have `serverName`. I am expecting a table entry showing 100 for `server_a`. Why is this happening and how can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Still I am unable to resolve and fix this. Is this an issue with Elasticsearch or Kibana?
