hi, i’m migrating from elastic 7.2 to opensearch 2.7 and i’m getting this error on 2 fields:  
`failed to parse field [event] of type [text] in document with id`  
this field used to work fine with elastic (it’s keyword)  
I tried replacing this to text but still getting the same error  
any ideas?

@taltsafrir Could you share the mapping of the event field from the source and destination indices?

Could you describe your migration procedure?

@pablo I realized that I have a field called event.original (this field created automatically)  
and I want to drop it in logstash but it didn’t work ☹
