Elasticsearch Filling

In this chapter, we will learn how to add some indexes, mappings, and data to Elasticsearch. Note that some of these data will be used in the examples explained in this tutorial.

Create index

You can use the following command to create an index-

PUT school

Response

If the index is created, the following output can be seen-

{"acknowledged": true}

Add data

Elasticsearch will store the documents we add to the index, as shown in the following code. The documents are provided with some IDs, which are used to identify the documents.
