I need to retrieve the field mappings for a type under elasticsearch 0.90.9.

ES is running as an embedded local node, and here is how I connect to it  
and retrieve mappings (the result contains an empty map):  
..  
//creates index and mappings  
...  
Client client =  
NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().clusterName(CLUSTER\_NAME).local(true).client(true).node().client();  
GetFieldMappingsRequest getMappingsRequest =  
new  
GetFieldMappingsRequest().indices(INDEX\_NAME).types(TYPE\_NAME).local(true).includeDefaults(true);  
GetFieldMappingsResponse response =  
client.admin().indices().getFieldMappings(getMappingsRequest).actionGet();

The problem is that the mappings returned are empty.

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Andra

Andra,

If you want the entire mapping for the type, you can do something like this:

```
  ClusterStateResponse csr = 

```

client.admin().cluster().prepareState().get();  
ImmutableOpenMap\<String, MappingMetaData\> mappings =  
csr.getState().metaData().index("").getMappings();  
MappingMetaData typeMapping = mappings.get("");  
System.out.println(typeMapping.source().string());

If you just want mappings for specific fields, you can use your method but  
you need to specify the fields:

GetFieldMappingsRequest request = new  
GetFieldMappingsRequest().indices("").types("").fields("");
