Excellent write up! Would configuring ES to alert instead of silently default type on new fields have helped ?

"dynamic": "strict" https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/...

Yes it would have. But as I said in one of the other comments, they are doing something about this in 2.x releases. And this reference is from 2.x release's documentation.

Wish we had it back then. We are currently on 1.4.

Got it. Thanks again for the write up and the time taken to respond to all comments!!
