ElasticSearch: Specifying types in bulk requests is deprecated

I am getting a warning:

"[types removal] Specifying types in bulk requests is deprecated."]

What do I do wrong? This is my code:

    BulkRequest request = new BulkRequest();

    for(Item item : items) {
        IndexRequest indexRequest = new IndexRequest(INDEX_NAME, DOC_TYPE, item.getIdentifier());
        indexRequest
                .opType(DocWriteRequest.OpType.INDEX) // Index the source. If there an existing document with the id, it will be replaced.
                .source(JsonUtility.toJson(item), XContentType.JSON);

        request.add(indexRequest);
    }

    elastic.bulk(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

I think you are working with a 7.X version and the problem is you create the IndexRequest are constructing the URL of the POST method to search in ElasticSearch, something close to:

  • http://localhost:9200/INDEX_NAME_identifier/DOC_TYPE/_search

Where identifier is the attribute used to discriminate in the search. In ElasticSearch 7 specifying types in search requests were deprecated and the URL should be something close to:

  • http://localhost:9200/INDEX_NAME_identifier/_search

Although it is hard to know because you don't specify the versions, I think the elasticsearch library in your code is older than 7.X, if you updated it to 7 probably the DOC_TYPE param disappears in the constructor.

The mapping type was removed in Elasticsearch 8 and is deprecated in Elasticsearch 7.

No Elasticsearch version is mentioned in your question, but you can read more about the schedule for removal of mapping types, and react accordingly.
