Hi.  
What I want is to read mapping from a file and set mapping for some  
indextype using java.  
Does this functionality exists now?  
If yes can someone tell me how.  
I looked at RestPutMappingAction.java but could not understand what  
are its parameters.  
Can somebody show me some working example?

Regards.

Check the preparePutMapping API on the Java client you get:  
client.admin().indices().preparePutMapping(...)
