What is the "setTypes" method of TransportClient Object?

Hello Friends,

What is the "setTypes" method of TransportClient Object?

//Code Line Here
client.prepareSearch(this.index).setTypes("datum") '''---->What is "datum" here?

Thanks....

It's the mapping name or type name. It should be usually set by default to _doc.

But... Don't use the TransportClient as it is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version. Use the REST Client instead.
