Elasticsearch Index APIs
- The Index APIs are in charge of dealing with every one of the parts of list like settings, nom de plumes, mappings, file formats.
Create Index
- This API helps you to create index. Index can be created automatically when a user is passing JSON objects to any index or it can be created before that.
- To create an index, you just need to send a post request with settings, mappings and aliases or just a simple request without body.
