How to put mapping by JAVA API

[SomberOfShadow]

hi， guys

I met a problem that blockde me several days.

I want to put mapping for a field by JAVA API but failed. Following is detailded information:

My data struction is :
{
"mje-test-execution-id": "464b66ea6c914ddda217659c84a3cb9d",
"jvm-free-memory": 315245608,
"jvm-total-memory": 361758720,
"system-free-memory": 0,
"jvm-max-memory": 7600078848,
"system-total-memory": 34199306240,
"memory-time-stamp": "2020-03-12T05:12:16.835Z",
"mje-host-name": "CN-00015345",
"mje-test-suite-name": "SCF Test no mje version",
"mje-version": "1.8.7771-SNAPSHOT",
"mje-test-artifact-id": "msran-regression-tests",
"mje-test-version": "1.8.7771-SNAPSHOT",
"stp-id": "vran-stp"
"mje-test-location": {
"lat": 58.41,
"lon": 15.62
}
},
What I want to do is : put "mje-test-location" type to be "geo_point"

My code snippet :

public void postMapping(String indexName, String field, String type) throws IOException {
GetIndexRequest request = new GetIndexRequest(indexName);

    boolean exists = client.indices().exists(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);
    if (!exists) {
        LOGGER.info("index {} does not exist. Now to post mapping.", indexName);
        PutMappingRequest putMappingRequest = new PutMappingRequest(indexName);
        XContentBuilder builder = XContentFactory.jsonBuilder();
        builder.startObject();
        {

            builder.startObject("properties");
            {
                builder.startObject(field);
                {
                    builder.field("type", type);
                }
                builder.endObject();
            }
            builder.endObject();
        }
        builder.endObject();
        putMappingRequest.source(builder);
        //

        AcknowledgedResponse putMappingResponse = client.indices().putMapping(putMappingRequest,
                RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

        boolean acknowledged = putMappingResponse.isAcknowledged();
        if (acknowledged) {
            LOGGER.info("Succeed to put mapping: field:{}, type: {}", field, type);
        }
    }

    LOGGER.info("Fail to put mapping due to index {} already exist, ", indexName);
}

Error info:

15:59:54.397 [main] DEBUG org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient - request [PUT http://seliiuapp00269.lmera.ericsson.se:9208/mje-scf-v2-20200313-post/_mapping?master_timeout=30s&timeout=30s] returned [HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request]
