python elasticsearch client set mappings during create index

You can simply add the mapping in the create call like this:

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearchself.elastic_con = Elasticsearch([host], verify_certs=True)mapping = '''{    "mappings":{      "logs_june":{        "_timestamp":{          "enabled":"true"      },      "properties":{          "logdate":{            "type":"date",          "format":"dd/MM/yyy HH:mm:ss"        }      }    }  }}'''self.elastic_con.indices.create(index='test-index', ignore=400, body=mapping)

Well, there is easier way to do this with general python syntax:

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch# conntect eses = Elasticsearch([{'host': config.elastic_host, 'port': config.elastic_port}])# delete index if existsif es.indices.exists(config.elastic_urls_index):    es.indices.delete(index=config.elastic_urls_index)# index settingssettings = {    "settings": {        "number_of_shards": 1,        "number_of_replicas": 0    },    "mappings": {        "urls": {            "properties": {                "url": {                    "type": "string"                }            }        }     }}# create indexes.indices.create(index=config.elastic_urls_index, ignore=400, body=settings)

The Python API client can be a tricky to work with and it often requires you to provide the inner portions of JSON spec documentations to keyword arguments.

For the put_mapping method, instead of providing it the full "mappings" JSON document you must give it the document_type parameter and only the inner portion of the "mappings" document like so:

self.client.indices.put_mapping(    index="accesslog",    doc_type="logs_june",    body={        "_timestamp": {              "enabled":"true"        },        "properties": {              "logdate": {                  "type":"date",                "format":"dd/MM/yyy HH:mm:ss"            }        }    })
