Elasticsearch 7.X removed the concept of mapping types (initially this was depreciated in Elasticsearch 6.X).
Change over to support dynamic mapping by making use of the updated 'POST {server}/{index}/_doc' index API with auto-generated ids by default.
Users can still use the the search type '-p pcp-metric' command line argument on launch to make use of the original pcp-metric mapping name for environments with Elasticsearch 5.X and 6.X, ('POST {server}/{index}/{search_type}' API).
Note: These older versions are considered EOL by Elastic.
This fix addresses github issue #1998.
