Just like we have a [validate](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-validate.html) api to check whether the query is valid or not without executing it against ElasticSearch, do we have a similar api to check if the mapping that we are trying to PUT is valid or not.
