=== Put Composable Index Template API

[id="{upid}-{api}-request"]
==== Put Composable Index Template Request

A +{request}+ specifies the `name` of a template and the index template configuration
which consists of the `patterns` that control whether the template should be applied
to the new index, and the optional mappings, settings and aliases configuration.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The name of the template
<2> The index template configuration that specifies the index name patterns this template will match

==== Settings
The settings of the template will be applied to the new index whose name matches the
template's patterns.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-settings]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Settings for this template
<2> Configure the settings on the template building block
<3> Create the IndexTemplateV2 object that configures the index template to apply the defined template to indices matching the patterns

==== Mappings
The mapping of the template will be applied to the new index whose name matches the
template's patterns.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-mappings-json]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The mapping, provided as a JSON string
<2> Configure the mapping on the template building block

==== Aliases
The aliases of the template will define aliasing to the index whose name matches the
template's patterns. A placeholder `{index}` can be used in an alias of a template.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-aliases]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The alias to define
<2> The alias to define with placeholder
<3> Configure the aliases on the template building block

==== Component templates
Component templates can be used as building blocks for specifying mappings, settings or aliases
configurations, but they don't apply to indices themselves. To be applied to an index, the
component templates must be specified in the `componentTemplates` list of the `IndexTemplateV2`
index template definition object. The order in which they are specified in the list is the order
in which the component templates are applied.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-component-template]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The component template used by this index template

==== Priority
In case multiple templates match an index, the priority of matching templates determines
the index template which will be applied.
Index templates with higher priority "win" over index templates with lower priority.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-priority]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The priority of the template

==== Version
A template can optionally specify a version number which can be used to simplify template
management by external systems.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-version]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The version number of the template

==== Optional arguments
The following arguments can optionally be provided:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-create]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> To force to only create a new template; do not overwrite the existing template

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-masterTimeout]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Timeout to connect to the master node as a `TimeValue`
