In the previous recipe, we learned how to initialize a client to send calls to an Elasticsearch cluster. In this recipe, we will learn how to manage indices via client calls.
Managing indices
Getting ready
You need an up-and-running Elasticsearch installation, which we described how to get in the Downloading and installing Elasticsearch recipe in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
A Maven tool or an IDE that natively supports it for Java programming, such as Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA, must be installed.
The code for this recipe is in the ch13/high-level-client directory and the referred class is IndicesOperations.
