History

Julie Tibshirani 8da7a27f3b Deprecate types in the put mapping API. (#37280 ) From #29453 and #37285, the `include_type_name` parameter was already present and defaulted to false. This PR makes the following updates: - Add deprecation warnings to `RestPutMappingAction`, plus tests in `RestPutMappingActionTests`. - Add a typeless 'put mappings' method to the Java HLRC, and deprecate the old typed version. To do this cleanly, I opted to create a new `PutMappingRequest` object that differs from the existing server one.		2019-01-18 12:28:31 -08:00

Elasticsearch REST API JSON specification

This repository contains a collection of JSON files which describe the Elasticsearch HTTP API.

Their purpose is to formalize and standardize the API, to facilitate development of libraries and integrations.

Example for the "Create Index" API:

{
  "indices.create": {
    "documentation": "http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/indices-create-index.html",
    "methods": ["PUT", "POST"],
    "url": {
      "path": "/{index}",
      "paths": ["/{index}"],
      "parts": {
        "index": {
          "type" : "string",
          "required" : true,
          "description" : "The name of the index"
        }
      },
      "params": {
        "timeout": {
          "type" : "time",
          "description" : "Explicit operation timeout"
        }
      }
    },
    "body": {
      "description" : "The configuration for the index (`settings` and `mappings`)"
    }
  }
}

The specification contains:

The name of the API (indices.create), which usually corresponds to the client calls
Link to the documentation at http://elastic.co
List of HTTP methods for the endpoint
URL specification: path, parts, parameters
Whether body is allowed for the endpoint or not and its description

The methods and url.paths elements list all possible HTTP methods and URLs for the endpoint; it is the responsibility of the developer to use this information for a sensible API on the target platform.
