Hi,

I am following the ES Definitive guide. I am trying to create a mapping for  
an index and type as follows.

curl -XPUT '192.168.1.103:9200/nxtxnlogs/transaction/' -d '  
"mappings" : {  
"_default_" : {  
"properties" : {  
"txn\_id" : { "type" : "long" },  
"logged\_at" : { "type" : "string" },  
"key\_name" : { "type" : "string" },  
"des" : {"type" : "string", "index" : "not\_analyzed" },  
"params" : { "type" : "string"}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
';

But I get this error.

No handler found for uri [/nxtxnlogs/transaction/] and method [PUT].

Also how do I create an empty index.

I apologise if the questions are basic. But I can't find it in the  
documentation.

Regards  
Abhishek

An index can be comprised of multiple types, so the type is not needed in  
the URL.

Try simply 192.168.1.103:9200/nxtxnlogs

Cheers,

Ivan
