Array doesn't correspond to any type available in Elasticsearch. Instead, Elasticsearch supports setting single or multiple values in the same fields. All values must be of the same type. Stop allowing to define fields as arrays, as this doesn't produce what the package developer is probably expecting.

arraydoesn't correspond to any type available in Elasticsearch. Instead, Elasticsearch supports setting single or multiple values in the same fields. All values must be of the same type.Current implementations in Beats and Fleet assume that
object_typeis set on these cases, and the type defined there is the one finally used in the index template. But there is nothing actually checking this, so we have packages usingtype: arraywithout anobject_type, what doesn't produce a valid mapping.On the cases where
object_typecould be used,typealone can be used to produce the same result, sotype: arraywith anobject_typeis redundant and leads to confusing results.Stop allowing to define fields as arrays, as this doesn't produce what the package developer is probably expecting.
This change will be applied for packages starting on format version 2.0.0.
Closes #408.
