Several issues:

no index name
use PUT instead of POST
mappings is nested into settings

Do this instead:

Modify cps_index.json like this:

{
    "mappings": {
        "doc": {
            "_source": {
                "enabled": false
            },
            "properties": {
                "firstName": {
                    "type": "text"
                },
                "lastname": {
                    "type": "text"
                },
                "email": {
                    "type": "text"
                },
                "mobileNumber": {
                    "type": "keyword"
                },
                "employeeId": {
                    "type": "keyword"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Run this:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT 'https://mydomain/indexname'
                                           ^                        ^
                                           |                        |
                                        use PUT              add index name

I'm using 6.5 Version, When I use the above json. It still throws an error. Instead I used this and it worked { "mappings": { "_doc": { "_source": { "enabled": false }, "properties": { "firstName": { "type": "text" }, "lastName": { "type": "text" }, "email": { "type": "text" }, "mobileNumber": { "type": "keyword" }, "employeeId": { "type": "keyword" } } } } }

Yes, my bad, _source gores inside the mapping type. Fixed

You need to add the index name after https://mydomain

https://mydomain/indexname

I did that and i received this error {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: ......,"status":400}

Looks like it expects some type name. But since ES deprecating the type. I don't want to use type. What can I do here. Thanks
