Hi  
I am using java code to set mapping.  
Is there any way to check the mapping i am using is applied or not  
because even in invalid mapping setting i don't get any exception. I  
want to make it sure that mapping is applied.

Mapping :

{  
"index" : {  
"analysis" : {  
"analyzer" : {  
"index\_analyzer" : {  
"type":"custom",  
"tokenizer" : "whitespace",  
"filter" : ["lowercase", "customstopword"]  
},  
"search\_analyzer" : {  
"type":"custom",  
"tokenizer" : "whitespace",  
"filter" : ["lowercase", "customstopword"]  
}  
},  
"filter" : {  
"customstopword": {  
"type" : "stop",  
"stopwords\_path" :"c:/stopwordeng.txt" ,  
"ignore\_case":true  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Used java code putting Mapping:

```
	 //creating index
         CreateIndexResponse createindexresponseactionGet =

```

client.admin().indices().create(new  
CreateIndexRequest(indexName)).actionGet();

logger.info("createindexresponseactionGet::"+createindexresponseactionGet);

```
		  //putting mapping
         PutMappingResponse actionGet =

```

client.admin().indices().preparePutMapping(indexName).setType(indexType).setSource(mappingsource).execute().actionGet();  
boolean acknowledged = actionGet.getAcknowledged();  
logger.info("put mapping  
acknowledged::"+acknowledged);

Thanks

You can get the mapping back using the cluster state API. Here is how the  
REST get mapping endpoint uses it:  
[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action/admin/indices/mapping/get/RestGetMappingAction.java#L66](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action/admin/indices/mapping/get/RestGetMappingAction.java#L66)  
.
