Questions on migrating 8.2 for templates in Java

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi, I'm migrating from elastic client 7.5.2 to 8.2. From HLRC to RestClient
I used to create Index template like this:

PutIndexTemplateRequest request = new PutIndexTemplateRequest(templateName);
        request.source(template, XContentType.JSON);
        AcknowledgedResponse putTemplateResponse = null;
        try {
            putTemplateResponse = restClient.indices().putTemplate(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);
            putTemplateResponse.isAcknowledged();
            return putTemplateResponse.isAcknowledged();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            log.error(e);
        }

Questions:

  1. What is difference between PutTemplateRequest (java-client 8.2.0 API) and PutIndexTemplateRequest (java-client 8.2.0 API) ?
    I see both doing same.

  2. I'm using PutTemplateRequest (java-client 8.2.0 API)
    and my template creation fails. I'm using withJson to pass template json.
    Error:

[es/indices.put_template] failed: [mapper_parsing_exception] Failed to parse mapping: dynamic template [remark] has invalid content [{"path_match":"*.*remark*","mapping":{"copy_to":["all"],"type":"object"}}], attempted to validate it with the following match_mapping_type: [object, string, long, double, boolean, date, binary]

2.a What's wrong with the request?
2.b I tried in Kibana dev tools with same JSON... PUT /_template/eua-cdb1_core_efk_8

It is success. How come ??

One Last Question :slight_smile:
It says #! Legacy index templates are deprecated in favor of composable templates.
Which latest Java method should we use ?

**NOTE: Some template creation got success with similar JSON structure.

Please help me with the information or examples
