Hi, I have to create deployment scripts for create index, mapping and other basic operations so that client admin can run this in single shot, does ES supports running batch files I checked with script file wit groovy extension, but it's not supporting index creation, an example of groovy script file with index creation will be very helpful Thanks, Chala. ---

You can use [index templates](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html). You could write an Elasticsearch plugin to create a new API that runs some sequence of commends but that is almost certainly overkill. ---
