Java API - Create index/mapping examples

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I'm trying to create an index and mapping using the Java API but I am not
getting the results I expect. Using the code shown in the gist below
results in the index being created, but the mapping isn't applied to the
index:

When I then hit the URL 'http://localhost:9200/testindex/_mapping', I see
the following results:

{"testindex":{"testobject":{"properties":{}}}}

Creating the index/mapping using the REST API directly via curl works. I've tried a few different permutations using the Java API based on various examples on this list without success , so I am at a bit of a loss as to what is going on here. Does anyone have some concrete examples of successfully creating an index/mapping using the Java API?

Thanks!

Tim

Hey Tim,

Have a look at: https://github.com/scrutmydocs/scrutmydocs/blob/master/src/main/java/org/scrutmydocs/webapp/util/ESHelper.java?source=cc

I think you could find some info here.

Does it help?

Thanks David, that gave me the information I was looking for. For
reference, I refactored the code in the original email into this:

The problem with my original code was that I was trying to create the index
and mapping in the same API call. Splitting them into 2 separate calls
fixed the issue.
