elasticsearchHow do I create and use Elasticsearch types?

Creating and using Elasticsearch types is a straightforward process.

1. First, create an index in Elasticsearch. This can be done with the following command:

PUT /my_index

2. Next, create a type within this index. This can be done with the following command:

PUT /my_index/my_type

3. Then, add a document to the type. This can be done with the following command:

PUT /my_index/my_type/1
{
  "name": "John Doe"
}

4. Finally, query the document. This can be done with the following command:

GET /my_index/my_type/1

The output should be the document that was added in the previous step:

{
  "_index": "my_index",
  "_type": "my_type",
  "_id": "1",
  "_version": 1,
  "found": true,
  "_source": {
    "name": "John Doe"
  }
}

In summary, Elasticsearch types can be created and used by:

1. Creating an index in Elasticsearch
2. Creating a type within the index
3. Adding a document to the type
4. Querying the document
