Java API to get a mapping

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I don't find any Java API to get a mapping for an index. Did I missed something or it is just not implemented yet ?

If just not implemented, I can try to take care of implementing it and provide a patch.

Yeah, I had a hard time finding it also. You need to fetch the ClusterState,
then get the IndexMetaData then you get your mapping from one of its
mappings() methods.

To get "myType" mapping from the "myIndex" index:

ClusterState cs =
client.admin().cluster().prepareState().setFilterIndices("myIndex").execute().actionGet().getState();
IndexMetaData imd = cs.getMetaData().index("myIndex")
MappingMetaData mdd = imd.mapping("myType")

Here is a sample of how it is done in the REST GET mapping endpoint: https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action/admin/indices/mapping/get/RestGetMappingAction.java
