Hello,  
Is it possible in Elasticsearch to retrieve index mapping into a whole  
JSON format in Java ??  
Curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/indexname/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/indexname/_mapping)' will give the  
whole structure of Index in JSON format. I wabt the same structure in  
Java. Is it possible ? Any Java Api is available ??  
Any help will be highy appreciated  
Thanks
