Create Index

Creates a new index.

You can use the create index operation to add a new index to an Elasticsearch cluster. When creating an index, you can specify the following:

• Settings for the index
• Mappings for fields in the index
• Index aliases.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Index	Name of the index you wish to create.Index names must meet the following criteria: Lowercase only Cannot include \, /, *, ?, ", <, >, |, ' ' (space character), , (comma), # Indices prior to 7.0 could contain a colon (:), but that’s been deprecated and won’t be supported in 7.0+ Cannot start with -, _, + Cannot be . or .. Cannot be longer than 255 bytes (note it is bytes, so multi-byte characters will count towards the 255 limit faster) Names starting with . are deprecated, except for hidden indices and internal indices managed by plugins.
Mappings	Mapping for fields in the index. If specified, this mapping can include field names, field data types and mapping parameters.
Settings	Configuration options for the index.
