Can someone elaborate on the reason why types are deprecated while creating index in elastic search version 7.
I went through the doc link https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/removal-of-types.html mentioned by elastic search but still not able to get why is it.
I think types were helpful in searching faster through documents as similar documents are grouped together.
what you are suggesting there, "searching faster through documents as similar documents are grouped together", is no different from using a field called filter_field and using that (which that link talks about)
however, types as they were implemented, were a bit more than just a data filtering field. and the implementation approach caused a number of issues with the way that users interacted with Elasticsearch, and the flexibility of Elasticsearch as it scales
this section goes into those technical details, and if that's not clear then it'd be great to understand why as we can make changes to it :)
