Hello Everyone,

I know using curl, we can get the mapping  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-get-mapping.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-get-mapping.html)

What is the equivalent Java api for the same? Short sample code would help

Thanks in advance..!!

Take a look at the RestGetMappingAction class. It converts the REST  
request into the Java API format and is a great example to start from.
