Hello, is there any way to put mapping with RestHighLevelClient? I know that it's possible with TransportClient via this Doc page: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/java-admin-indices.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/java-admin-indices.html) But as for RestHighLevelClient I haven't found any information. Best regards Добрый день! Подскажите, пожалуйста, есть ли возможность задать маппинг через RestHighLevelClient? ну или хотя бы через low level client. с уважением, ---

In one of the next versions 6.x, it looks like it will be possible to use the `CreateIndex` API call which will allow to set a mapping at index creation time: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.x/java-rest-high-create-index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/6.x/java-rest-high-create-index.html) ---

Yeah. And here is how I'm doing it in the mean time: > ---

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that the version I'm using is 6.1, so it's better to get to 6.x since it has more features? ---

6.x is not released yet 🙂 that was just a link to documentation of the next future release. ---

Yes, 6.1 is the current and it doesn't have CreateIndex API ☹ By the way, for some reason gradle dependency is not working i.e. after ptting the following dependency no packages are being added to the project: ``` compile 'org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client:6.2.0' ``` ---

Normal since 6.2 is not released yet You can inspire yourself from the code @dadoonet provided earlier, that should do the trick ---

Thank you, I'll look through it. You are doing a workaround by getting lowlevelclient and performing basic http requests to put mapping, am I correct? ---

Yeah, apparently this is only way to do. So, to sum up, there's no way in current stable version(6.1) to put mapping via High Level Client only, right? ---

Correct. As far as I know. ---
