elasticsearchHow do I create an Elasticsearch mapping?

To create an Elasticsearch mapping, you need to define the structure of your data in a JSON document. This document is then sent to the Elasticsearch server via an API call.

The following example code demonstrates how to create a mapping for an index called my_index:

PUT my_index
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "user": {
        "type": "keyword"
      },
      "message": {
        "type": "text"
      }
    }
  }
}

The output of the above code will be a 200 OK response.

The code consists of the following parts:

1. PUT my_index: This is the API call to create the index.
2. mappings: This is the key that holds the mapping definition.
3. properties: This is the key that holds the field definitions.
4. user and message: These are the field names.
5. type: This is the data type of the field.
