I'm trying to save a DataFrame with a timestamp field but I'm hitting

org.elasticsearch.hadoop.rest.EsHadoopInvalidRequest: failed to parse timestamp [2016-03-21 11:41:21,204]  
at org.elasticsearch.hadoop.rest.RestClient.checkResponse(RestClient.java:467)

My code  
`  
JavaEsSparkSQL.saveToEs(resultDataFrame, "event/state", ImmutableMap.of("es.mapping.timestamp", "timestamp", "[es.mapping.id](http://es.mapping.id)", "id"));

Is it possible to set a pre-defined mapping?  
`

You might want to check the reference documentation. For example the "Mapping and Types" [chapter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/master/mapping.html#mapping)  
though I recommend reading the whole thing.
