Hello

I'm trying to create an index:

```auto
        client.indices().create(new CreateIndexRequest(indexName)
                .settings(Settings.builder().put("index.number_of_replicas", 0))
                .mapping(shipmentIndexConfiguration, XContentType.JSON),
            RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

```

But Nothing is happening at all. Sometimes i get a exception that the request has timouted (after 30 seconds or so) but most of the time it just goes on for multiple hundred seconds.

If I check the log of the elasticsearch-server i don't see anything correlating to my issue.

If I try to create the index through Kibana everything works fine.

Elastic version: 6.4.2  
Mapping Configuration(shipmentIndexConfiguration):

```auto
    {
      "mappings": {
        "_doc": {
          "properties": {
            "documents": {
              "properties": {
                "importDateTime": {
                  "type": "date"
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }

```

Here is how I'm creating an index using the HLRestClient:

> <https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler/blob/master/elasticsearch-client/elasticsearch-client-v6/src/main/java/fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fs/client/v6/ElasticsearchClientV6.java#L231-L245>

The settings file is:

> <https://github.com/dadoonet/fscrawler/blob/master/settings/src/main/resources/fr/pilato/elasticsearch/crawler/fs/_default/6/_settings.json>

You can see that I'm configuring the whole settings (including number of shards and mapping) within the same json content.

Hope this helps.
