In the online manual, it only shows using curl to make an index have  
separate settings from other indexes. Is it possible using java?

Hey

works like this

ImmutableSettings.Builder settingsBuilder =  
ImmutableSettings.settingsBuilder();  
settingsBuilder.put("index.number\_of\_shards", 5);  
settingsBuilder.put("index.number\_of\_replicas", 0);  
client.admin().indices().prepareCreate("myIndex").setSettings(settingsBuilder.build()).execute():
