How can I create the following Parent-Child Mapping using Java API:

PUT karaf-2016.03.28  
{  
"mappings": {  
"karaf\_event": {  
"properties": {  
"HRC\_ROUTE\_ID": {  
"type": "string",  
"index": "not\_analyzed"  
},  
"@timestamp": {  
"type": "date",  
"format": "strict\_date\_optional\_time||epoch\_millis"  
}  
}  
},  
"karaf\_event\_headers": {  
"\_parent": {  
"type": "karaf\_event"  
},  
"properties": {  
"HRC\_HEADER\_NAME": {  
"type": "string",  
"index": "not\_analyzed"  
},  
"HRC\_HEADER\_VALUE": {  
"type": "string",  
"index": "not\_analyzed"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}
