in mapping, type having "float" as value would be also convert to "number"

[Moosh-be]

context

when I generate a new index pattern there is 2 attributes

geoip.longitude and geoip.latitude wich are "float"
kibana want type="number" and format="string"

ref : https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-fields.html#_geographic_point_field_formatters

my poor solution

So, even if I never code in python, I found in mapping.py
https://github.com/rfarley3/Kibana/blob/master/kibana/mapping.py#L257

    if key in self.mappings:
                if (key == 'type' and
                    (val == "long" or
                     val == "integer" or
                     val == "double")):
                    val = "number"

I've change it

 if key in self.mappings:
                if (key == 'type' and
                    (val == "long" or
                     val == "float" or
                     val == "integer" or
                     val == "double")):
                    val = "number"

and it's works fine

(even if format still empty and not "sprint" as request)

Question of beginner :
Why export config, viz, search and board but not index-pattern ?
index-pattern is needed to a correct import.

Thanks for noticing this. It's now fixed in PR #8. Closing this. I'll be making a new pypi release later today with some other small fixes.

Feel free to open a new issue about exporting index-pattern. I don't currently see a need for this, please explain in more detail (in the new issue). Did you know that you can dotkibana --export all --pkg to get everything at once.

Great.
I check dotkibana --export all --pkg
I would create a new issue to explain my need if dotkibana --export all --pkg doesn't respond to it
