I'm trying to find a way to recreate all index mappings from when I use `GET /_all/_mapping` or iterate over each index.  
For creating development cluster purposes.  
I have tried to use the json I get from get all mappings with Elasticsearch nodejs client, but putting the `mappings` object into `client.index` with specifying index name and mappings object as a mappings.

But it still didn't worked out as expected.

Is there a better way to "backup" mappings of indexes and recreating them ?
