The type concept was deprecated in 6.0, restricted to one type per index during 6.x, made optional in 7.0 behind the include_type_name parameter, and removed entirely in 8.0. Indexing URLs are now index slash _doc slash id, and a 7.x-era client sending a custom type segment receives a 400 from an 8.x cluster.
The underlying reason is that fields with the same name in different types shared a single Lucene field, so their mappings had to agree, which made types a misleading abstraction. Ported code must also drop the type from bulk action lines, where a stray type key produces an error about an unknown parameter in the action metadata. Where documents of genuinely different shapes were separated by type, the replacement is separate indices behind an alias, or a plain keyword field naming the kind.
