Get Fields from index

Hi, forgive me that I'm new to elasticsearch :slight_smile:
I just try to throw in different docs and want to know what fields
have been created in the index. Is there a way to ask the index which
fields it has? (I'm using the java api)

Thx Thomas

Easiest way would be to get the mapping:

If you allow dynamic mappings (the default), the mapping will be
updated as you add documents to the index. For the Java API, the
relevant methods are in the ClusterState classes.
