Is "Type" deprecated in Elasticsearch 6?

I'm pretty confused.

Here it says that it is deprecated and you could only use one type per index: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/removal-of-types.html

But when i try to create 2 documents in 2 different types in the same index, Elasticsearch 6.2.2 doesn't complain:

PUT http://IP:9200/blogs/post/1 PUT http://IP:9200/blogs_v2/post/1

Could somebody please clarify?

Types are not completely removed, but as an advice for the future change, one can only save one type pro index.

From the link that you posted:

Elasticsearch 6.x
- Indices created in 6.x only allow a single-type per index. Any name can be used for the type, but ..

So you have an index named blogs with one type post and an index blogs_v2 with a type post. These are two different indexes, containing one type each. Therefore legal
