Hello, I wonder what is the best way to get the mappings for an index using the ElasticSearch Java API with version 0.90.10. I saw that there is only a GetFieldMappingsRequest class for this version whereas a class GetMappingsRequest is now present in 1.0RC1. Thanks very much for your answer and your help!

Hi Thierry, the get field mapping api[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/indices-get-field-mapping.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/indices-get-field-mapping.html)was recently added to retrieve mappings for specific fields. If you need to read the whole mapping I would still use the get mapping api, while I would use the get field mapping if you only need to get the mapping for a few fields.

Just a side note that the API response format changed in 1.0.0RC1.

True, although this relates to the REST api but not to the Java API, for which the GetMappingsRequest stays the same. As I said, we introduced the get field mapping api and related GetFieldMappingsRequest.
