 Each defined type is made available as a service, and in this case the service key is
 `fos_elastica.index.app.user` and is an instance of `Elastica\Type`.
 
+If you are using Elasticsearch 6.x, you have to create separate index for each type:

+    indexes:
+        app_user:

 FOSElasticaBundle requires a provider for each type that will notify when an object
 that maps to a type has been modified. The bundle ships with support for Doctrine objects.
