Mapping update for “date_range” field type is not idempotent

[0bivan]

Elasticsearch version (bin/elasticsearch --version): 7.10.1, 7.10.2 (both inside container, https://hub.docker.com/_/elasticsearch/)

Plugins installed: []

JVM version (java -version): JVM[AdoptOpenJDK/OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM/15.0.1/15.0.1+9]

OS version (uname -a if on a Unix-like system): Linux/5.8.0-43-generic/amd64

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:

ES does not allow to update date_range fields with exact same mapping settings and responds with 500.
Expect to see just confirmation, but get that odd error. By the way, this does not happen with integer or keyword fields.

Steps to reproduce:

### 1. add new index
$ curl -XPUT http://localhost:29200/test_index
{"acknowledged":true,"shards_acknowledged":true,"index":"test_index"}

### 2. check settings
$ curl -XGET http://localhost:29200/test_index
{
  "test_index": {
    "aliases": {},
    "mappings": {},
    "settings": {
      "index": {
        "creation_date": "1612290812518",
        "number_of_shards": "1",
        "number_of_replicas": "1",
        "uuid": "jQ2IEe5VTkKgWVnBfDxvoA",
        "version": {
          "created": "7100299"
        },
        "provided_name": "test_index"
      }
    }
  }
}

### 3. add date_range field
$ curl -XPUT http://localhost:29200/test_index/_mapping -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"properties": {"range": {"type": "date_range", "format": "yyyy-MM-dd"}}}'
{"acknowledged":true}

### 4. ensure mapping is updated
$ curl -XGET http://localhost:29200/test_index/_mapping
{
  "test_index": {
    "mappings": {
      "properties": {
        "range": {
          "type": "date_range",
          "format": "yyyy-MM-dd"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

### 5. try to put exact same settings for "range" field
$ curl -XPUT http://localhost:29200/test_index/_mapping -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"properties": {"range": {"type": "date_range", "format": "yyyy-MM-dd"}}}'
{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "illegal_state_exception",
        "reason": "[index.version.created] is not present in the index settings for index with UUID [null]"
      }
    ],
    "type": "illegal_state_exception",
    "reason": "[index.version.created] is not present in the index settings for index with UUID [null]"
  },
  "status": 500
}

Hi @0bivan, thanks for reporting this issue. The bug has already been fixed in 7.11.0 which has been release a few days ago, it also didn't show up in 7.9 when I just tried to reproduce it, so I suggest updating to the latest issue and will be closing this here.

[0bivan]

Yep. Checked with 7.11.0 works fine. Thank you!
