Whats the best way to add mappings programmatically?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I've been using elastic since about 2009 ... and I've always found myself
embedding elastic into our app - and configuring it programmatically.
I've always found programmatically configuring the mapping for an index to
be very clunky.

But perhaps I just havent paid close attention to the enhancements over the
years and I am now Doing It Wrong.

So, what is the best/cleanest way to configure mappings programmatically?

mapping is not something you add/change every second or hour? just curious,
why would you want to do it programmatically?

the discussion have been moved to https://discuss.elastic.co/ , you might
get more response there.

I am primarily indexing structured data - so typically, there are many
fields.
In my experience mapping changes quite a bit over time - as requirements
evolve - or as you discover the mistakes you have made.
Your mapping necessarily refers to fields - as does your code. So, keeping
those two in sync over time sucks.

(I have raised the same question
here: https://discuss.elastic.co/t/whats-the-best-way-to-configure-mappings-programmatically/
)
