hello everyone - I have settings and mapping defined in a single JSON document and I have been trying to find a way to create index using that JSON document. I tried different code snippets but have not found one which allows me to create settings as well as mapping using one JSON document. Any help on this will be great! -Amit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hmm, I'm able to create an index and its mappings/settings with a single JSON request to [http://localhost:9200/](http://localhost:9200/). What settings are you trying to set?

Actually I am using Java API which uses a node client (do not have http port open). Finally I got it working but it look a bit amount of research. Following is the code snippet: ``` CreateIndexRequest indexCreateRequest = new ``` CreateIndexRequest(indexName); indexCreateRequest.source(mappingSource); //entire JSON scrpit //Execute index creation command CreateIndexResponse indexCreateResponse = client.admin().indices().create(indexCreateRequest).actionGet(); -Amit.
