Problem with query - dremio 1.4.4, ES 6.1.1

I just tried the 1.4.4 release with Elasticsearch 6.1.1
I can do a some queries like:

SELECT *
FROM hn_items 
where "type" is null
limit 10 

but not

SELECT *
FROM hn_items 
where "type" ='story'
limit 10

I get the error “Failure executing Elastic request start search.” I didn’t know if it was the syntax of the string so I tried a few options - nothing works.

Am I formatting my query wrong or is this a bug?

I can do other queries and join using a where clause - but a simple where = “string” isn’t working.

What am I doing wrong?

It seems I can do as a like query
"type" like 'story'
but I don’t think I can should need to.

This query works on ES 2.x and 5.x but may not work on 6.x at this time.

See: http://docs.dremio.com/data-sources/elasticsearch.html

Sorry about that, we are working on adding support for ES6 in a future release.

ok - thanks - Is there an ETA? Many queries do work but this for some reason doesn’t.

Support for Elasticsearch 6.0 is now available in our latest release, Dremio 2.1. More details here.
