Very new to elasticsearch, so please be kind. Would like to find working code example in Java that: (1) creates an index (2) creates a mapping (3) specifies an analyzer (4) converts text files to json (5) loads the json into elasticsearch I have successfully created an index using curl and head. I successfully wrote a java program that converts (a directory of) text files to json and loads them into elasticsearch. However the mapping is implied and the analyzer is implied (default?). I would like to programmatically specify the index creation, mapping, and analysis. My searches usually result in an example using curl or something off-topic. I suspect what I am trying to do is a very common task, could someone please point me to a working code example ? arkerpay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You could give a look at [https://github.com/scrutmydocs/scrutmydocs](https://github.com/scrutmydocs/scrutmydocs) which basically does that. Or FSRiver: [https://github.com/dadoonet/fsriver](https://github.com/dadoonet/fsriver) Also Elasticsearch unit tests are a good place to find Java code.

Appreciate the quick response! These are large projects. Could you identify the file in each project that does what I am looking for?
