**elasticsearch:8.7.1**

I am creating index this way:

```auto

return new CreateIndexRequest.Builder()
                 .index(name)
                 .aliases(alias, new Alias.Builder().build())
                 .settings(new IndexSettings.Builder()
                         .numberOfShards(String.valueOf(shardsAmount))
                         .build())
                 .build();

```

I want add mapping like this:

```auto
 return new CreateIndexRequest.Builder()
                  .index(name)
                  .mappings(
                      new TypeMapping.Builder()...

```

and I have no idea what next.  
Can any one share example or link where I can find it?
