Is it possible using the elasticsearch-hadoop connector in pig to create an  
index or set settings when the index autocreates such that it applies the  
following setting?

$ curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/twitter/](http://localhost:9200/twitter/)' -d '{

"settings" : {

```
"index" : {

    "number_of_shards" : 3,

    "number_of_replicas" : 2

}

```

}

}'

Or does the index have to be created before the pig script is run?
