You can't. If you want to do that, you can only use the low level client.

I found Restful API and python API to set "include\_type\_name".

Restful API:

```auto
PUT /send-mje-version-size-test4?include_type_name=true
{
  "mappings": {
    "_doc": {          
      "properties": {
        "lastModified": { 
		        "type": "text"		
        },
        "mjeVersion": {   
            "type": "text"
        },
	     	"sizeOnDisk": {   
            "type": "long"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Python API:

`es.indices.create(index=indexName, include_type_name=True) `  
or  
`es.indices.put_mapping(index=indexName, body=mappings, include_type_name=True)`
