Elasticsearch ERROR, The "data" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView. Received undefined

AWS Elasticsearch cluster connects through nodejs.

const AWS = require('aws-sdk')
const elasticsearch = require('elasticsearch')
const awsHttpClient = require('http-aws-es')

let client = elasticsearch.Client({
    host: 'http://---.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com/',
    connectionClass: awsHttpClient,
    amazonES: {
        region: 'us-east-1',
        credentials: new AWS.Credentials('----', '-----')
    }
});

client.search({
    index: 'orders',
    type: 'text',
    body: {
        query: {
            match: {
                source: 'ETH'
            }
        }
    }
})
.then(res => console.log("Error : ",res));

Doctypes are not available in latest Elasticsearch version so probably just remove type: 'text',

client.search({
    index: 'orders',
    body: {
        query: {
            match: {
                source: 'ETH'
            }
        }
    }
})
