Current version of `elasticsearch_loader` passes `_type` iteratively during data indexing. As per Elastic's [announcement & overview on types](https://www.elastic.co/blog/moving-from-types-to-typeless-apis-in-elasticsearch-7-0), typeless APIs have been best practice since ES 6.0, and users who have upgraded to ES 8.0 will *no longer* be able to use _type. Elastic 8.0 users attempting to use elasticsearch_loader will be met with the error `RequestError(400, 'illegal_argument_exception', 'Action/metadata line [1] contains an unknown parameter [_type]')` despite not passing --type as a CLI arg. This edit resolves the issue painlessly
