Answer 1

You're probably running Elasticsearch version 6 and as of that version ES doesn't allow you to create more than one type in any given index.

You need to store each of your document type inside a dedicated index, e.g.

PUT /business/building/217
{
  "adresse":"11 Pen Ave",
  "floors":5,
  "offices":7,
  "loc":{
    "lat":40.693479,
    "lon":-73.983854
  }
}

PUT /employees/employee/330
{
  "name":"Richard Bell",
  "title":"Senior Accountant",
  "salar_usd":115000.00,
  "hiredate":"Jan 19, 2013"
}

see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/removal-of-types.html for more.

Elasticsearch 6.x Indices created in 6.x only allow a single-type per index. Any name can be used for the type, but there can be only one. The preferred type name is _doc, so that index APIs have the same path as they will have in 7.0: PUT {index}/_doc/{id} and POST {index}/_doc
