The type field is potentially removed in the future in elasticsearch: elastic/elasticsearch#15613 There is currently no active use of `_type` features in beats. There is use of `type` which often contains the same value as `_type` but is a normal field. `_type` is marked deprecated in 5.3 as it will be potentially be removed in the 6.0 release. For queries and dashboards the `_type` field should not be used anymore. Removal of `_type` on the beats side is probably not going to be a breaking change as it mainly affects the elasticsearch output.
