Hi,  
How can I set index pattern with python, before putting any docs?  
I came up with this, am I on the right tracks?

```auto
query = 
"settings": {
        "number_of_shards": 2,
        "number_of_replicas": 1,
        "mappings": {...},
        "index-pattern" : {
            "title" : "myindex",
            "timeFieldName" : "sendTime",
            "fields" : """[{"name":"_id","type":"string","esTypes":["_id"],"count":0, ...]}"""

es_client.indices.create(index = "myindex" , body = query)

```

Am I missing sth?
