CreateAsync #

Creates a new collection in the provided index. You can also provide an optional body with a collection mapping allowing you to exploit the full capabilities of our persistent data storage layer.

This method will only update the mapping if the collection already exists.

Arguments #

public async Task CreateAsync(
        string index,
        string collection,
        JObject mappings = null);

string

JObject

mapping #

A JObject representing the collection data mapping.

The mapping must have a root field properties containing the mapping definition:

{
  "properties": {
    "field1": { "type": "text" },
    "field2": {
      "properties": {
        "nestedField": { "type": "keyword" }
      }
    }
  }
}
