Create index with multiple different types / add new type to existing index via JavaAPI

Alexander_Kley · October 25, 2013, 9:43am

Hi guys,

is it possible to create an index with more than one type? Things like this
don't work and thrown a 'Index allready exists':

// create index with more than one type with default mapping
public void createIndex(final String index, final Map<String, Object>
indexSetting, final String... types) throws IndexCreateException
{
final Map<String, Object> indexSettingTmp = indexSetting == null ? new
HashMap<String, Object>() : indexSetting;
final Settings settings = getImmutableSettings(indexSettingTmp);

for (final String type : types)
{

esClient.admin().indices().prepareCreate(index).setSettings(settings).addMapping(type,
null).execute().actionGet();
}

}

is it possible to to add new type(s) to an existing index via Java API. I
cant find any examples for Java API

Thanks in advance
Alex

I don't know the java api, I'm strictly using the REST, but you are calling
create index for every type which of course is giving you "index already
exists"

Have you considered not calling execute() until you've added all the
mappings?

Hi Josh,

thats a good hint! I'll try to add .setType() in a for-loop and after this
the execute() will be append. Good idea to create multiple types in one
request. But how can i add further types on existing indexes? Via REST it
seems to be quite simple. But how can I do this via Java API?
Have anybody ideas?

regards,
Alex

I have never created a new type via the Java API, so I can't easily answer
your question, but if you ever need to find the Java equivalent of a REST
call, here are two suggestions:

Look for the Java endpoint of the REST call. It will be in
the org.elasticsearch.rest.action package and will usually have a
recognizable name that begins with Rest, such as RestCreateIndexAction. An
IDE with class name completion helps.
Look at the tests. The majority of elasticsearch tasks are tested via
numerous unit and integration tests. Good place to steal, I mean borrow,
code from.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish,
and you feed him for a lifetime.

Cheers,

Ivan

You use the addMapping() method in CreateIndexRequestBuilder with a null
argument for the mapping. This will not work.
Use the PutMappingRequest
