I'd like to do the timestamp mapping for my index with the Java API. I ran across this class TimestampFieldMapper[http://elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/index/mapper/internal/TimestampFieldMapper.java](http://elasticsearch/blob/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/index/mapper/internal/TimestampFieldMapper.java)in github. What is the intended use case for it? Does anyone have any documentation on it, or any examples? Thanks!
