Hi addType() not available

[sunnystone85]

Good day,

we are using Elastica 6.x before, now we upgrade to 7.x.
But it report an error as : call to undefined method Elastica\search::addType().
So the function addType() is not existed? is there any other function instead?

the code as below:
$search = new Elastica\Search($this->getClient());
$search->addIndex($index_name)->addType($doc_type);

Thanks

Are you aware of the type removal in Elasticsearch? https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/removal-of-types.html What version of Elasticsearch are you running?

[sunnystone85]

we are using ElasticSearch 5.2

The Elasticsearch not upgraded, but due to our framework upgrade the dependency of Elastica need to upgrade to 7.x, but the function addType() was removed, just would like to find out a alternative way in Elastica 7.x...
Could you please help on this?

Elastica 7.0 is not compatible with Elasticsearch 5.0: https://github.com/ruflin/Elastica What you can always do is send "raw" json requests to Elasticsearch with Elastica, like this you should be able to simulate any requests you need, but you are loosing all the Elastica Objects.

Thanks for your reply...

Hi Ruflin,
One more question, Is there any document/samples about sending "raw" json to Elasticsearch with Elastica?

[ruflin]

You can find here raw queries and raw JSON example: https://elastica.io/examples/ Be aware, these docs have not been touched for quite a while but it should still work.

Great! Will have a try, thank you.
