Index not being created?

[trentcioran]

I have a custom mapping and I'm trying to force deletion and recreation of the index, I have the following code (using the latest NEST from NuGet)

TypeMapping mapping = new ActivityLogIndexMap().Map();
client.DeleteMapping();
client.Map(mapping);
client.Refresh();

Unfortunately this does not create the mapping in Elastic Search :-/

Hi,

If memory serves me right i think i remember observing the map call no longer automatically creates the index on Elasticsearch's side like it does when you first post a document. I don't know exactly which version changed this behavior.

I just put a if (!indexexists) { createindex() } in between.

If i issue the tweet mapping call from the Elasticsearch docs

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-put-mapping.html

On an index that doesnt exist yet i get a 404:

{"error":"IndexMissingException[[twitter] missing]","status":404}
