title: Mapping data into Elasticsearch from Nutch 1.x
body: <p>I've been working with Nutch 1.10 to make some small web crawls and indexing the crawl data using Elasticsearch 1.4.1 - it seems that the only way to optimize the index mapping is to crawl first, review the mapping that ES did on its own and then change it accordingly (if necessary) with the mapping API.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of a more effective solution to optimize the mappings within an ES index for web crawling?</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong>
  Is it even possible to update an ES mapping from a Nutch web crawl?</p>
