Simple elasticsearch input - Rejecting mapping update final mapping would have more than 1 type: [_doc, doc] - elasticsearch

Question

I'm trying to send data to elasticsearch but running into an issue where my number field only comes up as a string. These are the steps I took.
Step 1. Add index & map
PUT http://123.com:5101/core_060619/
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"date": {
"type": "date",
"format": "HH:mm yyyy-MM-dd"
},
"data": {
"type": "integer"
}
}
}
}
Result:
{
"acknowledged": true,
"shards_acknowledged": true,
"index": "core_060619"
}
Step 2. Add data
PUT http://123.com:5101/core_060619/doc/1
{
"test" : [ {
"data" : "119050300",
"date" : "00:00 2019-06-03"
} ]
}
Result:
{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason": "Rejecting mapping update to [zyxnewcoreyxbl_060619] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [_doc, doc]"
}
],
"type": "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason": "Rejecting mapping update to [zyxnewcoreyxbl_060619] as the final mapping would have more than 1 type: [_doc, doc]"
},
"status": 400
}

You can not have more than one type of document in Elasticsearch 6.0.0+. If you set your document type to doc, then you can add another document by simply PUT http://123.com:5101/core_060619/doc/1, PUT http://123.com:5101/core_060619/doc/2 etc.
Elasticsearch 6.+
PUT core_060619/
{
"mappings": {
"doc": { //type of documents in index is 'doc'
"properties": {
"date": {
"type": "date",
"format": "HH:mm yyyy-MM-dd"
},
"data": {
"type": "integer"
}
}
}
}
}
Since we created mapping to have doc type of documents, now we can add new documents by simply adding /doc/_id:
PUT core_060619/doc/1
{
"test" : [ {
"data" : "119050300",
"date" : "00:00 2019-06-03"
} ]
}
PUT core_060619/doc/2
{
"test" : [ {
"data" : "111120300",
"date" : "10:15 2019-06-02"
} ]
}

Types are removed, but you can use custom like field(s):
PUT twitter
{
"mappings": {
"_doc": {
"properties": {
"type": { "type": "keyword" },
"name": { "type": "text" },
"user_name": { "type": "keyword" },
"email": { "type": "keyword" },
"content": { "type": "text" },
"tweeted_at": { "type": "date" }
}
}
}
}
PUT twitter/_doc/user-kimchy
{
"type": "user",
"name": "Shay Banon",
"user_name": "kimchy",
"email": "shay#kimchy.com"
}
PUT twitter/_doc/tweet-1
{
"type": "tweet",
"user_name": "kimchy",
"tweeted_at": "2017-10-24T09:00:00Z",
"content": "Types are going away"
}
GET twitter/_search
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": {
"match": {
"user_name": "kimchy"
}
},
"filter": {
"match": {
"type": "tweet"
}
}
}
}
}
