Curl recreation:

        curl -X DELETE "localhost:9200/test"

        curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/test" -d '{
          "settings" : { "index" : { "number_of_shards" : 1, "number_of_replicas" : 0 }}
        }'

        curl -X GET "localhost:9200/_cluster/health?wait_for_status=green&pretty=1&timeout=5s"

        curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/test/attachment/_mapping" -d '{
          "attachment" : {
            "properties" : {
              "file" : {
                "type" : "attachment"
              }
            }
          }
        }'

        curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/test/attachment/1" -d '{
            "file" : {
                "_content_type" : "application/pdf",
                "_name" : "resource/name/of/my.pdf"
            }
        }
        '
