elasticsearchHow do I create and configure elasticsearch mapping types?

To create and configure elasticsearch mapping types, you need to first define the mapping type by making a PUT request to the _mapping endpoint. For example, you can use the following code to create a mapping type for a users index:

PUT /users/_mapping
{
  "properties": {
    "name": {
      "type": "text"
    }
  }
}

The output of the above code should be {"acknowledged":true}. This indicates that the mapping type was successfully created.

Next, you can configure the mapping type by adding more properties to it. For example, you can add an age property to the users mapping type:

PUT /users/_mapping
{
  "properties": {
    "name": {
      "type": "text"
    },
    "age": {
      "type": "integer"
    }
  }
}

The output of the above code should be {"acknowledged":true}. This indicates that the mapping type was successfully configured.

You can add more properties and configure the mapping type as needed.
