Something like this:

```
      client.admin().indices().preparePutMapping(index)
          .setType("doc")
          .setSource(jsonBuilder().startObject()
                  .startObject("_ttl")
                      .field("enabled", true)
                  .endObject()
                  .startObject("properties")
                  .endObject()
              .endObject()
          )
          .execute()
          .actionGet();

```
