how to setup this simple Elasticsearch Mapping in Elasticsearch-PHP? - php

Question

Given in the end of the question is an terminal command showing a simple Elasticsearch mapping. I need to set up this kind of mapping for an index using Elasticsearch-PHP. And I need to do this at the time when I am indexing the data.
I know how to index in Elasticsearch-PHP. It will be something like
for($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) {
$params['body'][] = [
'index' => [
'_index' => 'my_index',
'_type' => 'my_type',
]
];
$params['body'][] = [
'my_field' => 'my_value',
'second_field' => 'some more values'
];
}
$responses = $client->bulk($params);
My question is that how will I set up a Mapping, corresponding to the particular Mapping given below in the elasticsearch-PHP format (I believe it will become an associative array, but I am not sure of further details)?
This is the example ES Mapping, that I want to convert to the format used in PHP:
PUT _template/packets
{
"template": "packets-*",
"mappings": {
"pcap_file": {
"dynamic": "false",
"properties": {
"timestamp": {
"type": "date"
},
"layers": {
"properties": {
"ip": {
"properties": {
"ip_ip_src": {
"type": "ip"
},
"ip_ip_dst": {
"type": "ip"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

If you don't update your mapping - you don't have to put mapping each time you re-index data into elasticsearch. But if you do, of you create index with new name you can do this:
$put = [
'mappings' => [
// your mapping here
],
];
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://yourHost:9200/yourIndex');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($put));
curl_exec($ch);
or you can use elasticsearch package:
$params = [
'index' => 'yourIndex',
'body' => [
'mappings' => [
// your mapping here
]
]
];
$response = $client->indices()->create($params);
