Error while updating an index in elasticsearch

Question

'{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"invalid_type_name_exception","reason":"Document mapping type name can\'t start with \'_\', found: [_update]"}],"type":"invalid_type_name_exception","reason":"Document mapping type name can\'t start with \'_\', found: [_update]"},"status":400}',

Getting the above error as a response on making update request in elasticsearch while updating an index with elasticsearch, while below is the JSON data I'm passing.

 { name: 'TESTIN ONE (3)',
  id: 'PUZb8739273HD83DGE',
  titles:
   [ { id: 21, title: 'FALSELY ACCUSED' },
     { id: 21, title: 'FALSELY ACCUSED' },
     { id: 23, title: undefined } ] }

Also this the function I'm passing through

updateProjectIndex = async (project) => {
    try {
        const result = await client.update({
            index: "updatedproject",
            type: "_doc",
            id: project.id,
            refresh: 'true',
            body: project,
        });
        return result;
    }
    catch (e) {
        console.log(e);
    }
}

And in this function's parameter I'm passing above JSON.

Error

"error": {
      "root_cause": [
        {
          "type": "document_missing_exception",
          "reason": "[_doc][5d8de6a0806590a27895f971]: document missing",
          "index_uuid": "j26lRI1UTJuJmHw_GuPSxg",
          "shard": "0",
          "index": "docprojectnew"
        }
      ],
      "type": "document_missing_exception",
      "reason": "[_doc][5d8de6a0806590a27895f971]: document missing",
      "index_uuid": "j26lRI1UTJuJmHw_GuPSxg",
      "shard": "0",
      "index": "docprojectnew"
    },
    "status": 404   }

Value of project

{ projectName:
   'NEW UPDATE DATA (3)',
  id: '5d8de6a0806590a27895f971',
  titles:
   [ { id: 5d88afc8e9896c1ca7f2c065, title: 'FALSELY ACCUSED' },
     { id: 5d88afc8e9896c1ca7f2c065, title: 'FALSELY ACCUSED' },
     { id: 5d5eeb2ec300364d48764f78, title: undefined } ] }

type: "_doc" . Can you try doc instead of _doc and see if it works — jaspreet chahal

@Farhan, can you try and remove the "type" parameter from the update function and try? — Abhilash Bolla

Try the below code

const result = await client.update({
   index: "updatedproject",
   type: "_doc",
   id: project.id,
   refresh: 'true',
   body: {
     doc: project
   }
});
return result;

As per "document missing exception" --document you are trying to update doesnot exist. you can use doc_as_upsert: true to update doc if present else create one

Just asking if the ES index updated, it adds new projectName field, and old one stays as it is? Is it correct, It should alter the existing one right?

What version of Elasticsearch are you using? is the client version compatible with it?

Document mapping type name can\'t start with \'_\' suggests, that you are using Elastic prior to 7.0*, but your type: "_doc" would be appropriate for 7.*.
