Hi all,

Before, in ElasticSearch 2.3.1, I was checking if some index existed and if not I was making a PUT request to create it with **my settings and my mappings** , just like below:

```
String synonymFiltersName = "filtro_de_sinonimos";
String synonymAnalyzerName = "analizador_sinonimos";		

public String generateIndexJSON() throws IOException {
	XContentBuilder settingsBuilder = XContentFactory.jsonBuilder()
	        .startObject()
	        
		        .startObject("settings")
			        .startObject("index")
                        .field("number_of_shards",3)
                        .field("number_of_replicas",0)				        	
                        .field("sort.field", Const.COL_DATA_HORA)				        	
                        .field("sort.order", "asc")				        	
			        .endObject()
			        
		        	.startObject("analysis")			        	
		                .startObject("filter")
		                    .startObject("portuguese_stop")
		                        .field("type","stop")

	        .endObject();
	
	String json = Strings.toString(settingsBuilder);		

```

Now, in version 7.5.1, I do the same request but it doesn't create the complete configuration I need:  
 ![superlog-mappings](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/1/3181b91bbe0a7f1c3bceb3bbf95ff07ef0ea29c3.png)

My question is, how can I do the same thing using this new version?

Also, where can I find documentation about ElasticSearch API calls?

Is there something like Kopf plugin for this new version? How can I manipulate the settings?
