Hi all,

I'm attempting to use the Jest Java client. There is a readme that provides some documentation [here](https://github.com/searchbox-io/Jest/tree/master/jest). It discusses some integration between the Jest API and ElasticSearch Java API for things like mapping definitions. What I'm attempting to do is define an [index template](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/indices-templates.html). The Jest API appears to have support for this via a class called `PutTemplate`. However, I can't find any example of using this class in conjunction with the built-in ES Java API builder classes. Does anyone have any ideas?
