Output field in autocomplete suggestion

when I want to index a document in elasticsearch this problem occurring:

message [MapperParsingException[failed to parse]; nested: IllegalArgumentException[unknown field name [output], must be one of [input, weight, contexts]];]

I know that the output field removed from elasticsearch in version 5 but why? and what I have to do for getting single result for inputs?

Elastic mentions the following

As suggestions are document-oriented, suggestion metadata (e.g. output) should now be specified as a field in the document. The support for specifying output when indexing suggestion entries has been removed. Now suggestion result entry’s text is always the un-analyzed value of the suggestion’s input (same as not specifying output while indexing suggestions in pre-5.0 indices).

Update

I was able to get a single output from multiple inputs in ES 5.1.1. You can find the answere here

            },
            "suggest": {
                "type": "completion",
                "analyzer": "simple",
                "search_analyzer": "simple"
            }
        }
    }
}

Data
