I want to get some document saved in couchdb using elasticsearch.

I see that the elasticsearch river maybe a choice. Could anyone tell me how to write equivalent java code like following? Given some simple java example, I can gradually work on it. But I am currently stuck on it. Thanks a lot for replying in advance!

curl-XPUT'localhost:9200/\_river/my\_river/\_meta' -d'{  
"type" : "dummy"  
}
