I want to create an index using the Java API.

I'm using a TransportClient and want to create a new Index, what is the Java  
API to do this?

client.prepareIndex can't be used for this.

Thanks in advance  
Jürgen

Ok, got it:

client.admin().indices().create(new  
CreateIndexRequest(indexname)).actionGet();

Sorry for the noise.
