How initialize with some mappings or templates?

[ebuildy]

Hello,

I would like to be able to set some templates and mapping if they are not present yet in ES data. What the best way to achieve it?

(To me, the difficult part is to wait that elasticsearch has been started & ready).

Thanks you,

The way we do it in the mysql image is to repeatedly try connecting with a timeout (entrypoint). It should be a similar setup to try until elasticsearch is available.

I have the same question. I need to initialize the mappings, what would be the best approach to achieve this?
