CreateIndexRequestBuilder and mappings from JSON (Java)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I would like to create my indexes from a template stored in a JSON
file using the CreateIndexRequestBuilder class (Java).

Unfortunately, it seems that the CreateIndexRequestBuilder object
misses a method .source() and is also inconsistent in its members:
setSettings(source) exists but setMappings(source) does not.

Is there any reason for that or I am missing something ?

Thanks,
Jérémie

Additionally, it does not seem to be able to configure Aliases
directly through this call, whereas it is possible through the JSON +
HTTP API.

If anybody has an hint, I'm really struggling with this :slight_smile:

To add mapping you can use CreateIndexRequestBuilder#addMapping(String type,
String mapping)

Hello Alexandr,

Thanks for your answer, unfortunately my original question was how to
fill a CreateIndexRequest using a JSON string, just as you can do an
IndexRequest#source(String json).

CreateIndexRequestBuilder has a method called addMapping(String type, String
source), you can use that one to add a mapping defined in json as a String.
Is that what you are after?
