Answer 1

Set mapping for the index is possible in Elastic search. I tried this with the latest version of Elastic search 1.7.3 and I was able to set the mapping successfully to the index.

I tried the following,

• Delete the index (DELETE http://localhost:9200/index)
• Put the mapping json under the index (PUT http://localhost:9200/index)
• Get the mapping (GET http://localhost:9200//_mapping)
