The base work has now been completed, and new setups will move to a per-type index model. Older 5.x ES instances set up with the earlier setup script will continue to work, but I'll work on an upgrade script for when it becomes vital to change the DB model (while still retaining the previously gathered data). This also means that as of now, the minimum ElasticSearch version has been bumped to 6.x for new installations. There are a few straggling .keyword entries left, that I need to weed out, which may or may not break things on older 5.x DBs, depending on aggregation types. I plan to mitigate this by providing aforementioned upgraded script for 6.x databases.
