Update index that already have

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi everyone, I have a problem, when i try to update my index in Elasticsearch, that index has already created before, and i get the error with this message:

Exception : {"error":"IndexAlreadyExistsException[[person] already exists]","status":400}

And this is my code:

$param = [
'index' => 'person',
'body' =>
];
ClientBuilder::indices()->create($param);

You can not create an index which already exist.

Use update settings API instead.

I have found a function call putMapping() for update, but while i use it, it's error with this message:
type is required for Put

Put mapping is not the right method. Have a look at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/indices-update-settings.html

I don't know exactly how it translates to your programming language though.
