+To add mappings to an existing index or data stream, you can send a request to the `_mapping` endpoint using the `PUT` or `POST` HTTP method:
+
+```json
+POST sample-index1/_mapping
+{
+  "properties": {
+    "year":    { "type" : "text" },
+    "age":     { "type" : "integer" },

+  }
+}
+```
+
+You cannot change the mapping of an existing field, you can only modify the field's mapping parameters.

+## Get a mapping
+
+To get all mappings for one or more indexes, use the following request:
+
+```json
+GET <index>/_mapping
+```
+
+In the above request, `<index>` may be an index name or a comma-separated list of index names. 
+
+To get all mappings for all indexes, use the following request:
+
+```json
+GET _mapping
+```
+
+To get a mapping for a specific field, provide the index name and the field name:
+
+```json
+GET _mapping/field/<fields>
+GET /<index>/_mapping/field/<fields>
+```
+
+Both `<index>` and `<fields>` can be specified as one value or a comma-separated list.
+
+For example, the following request retrieves the mapping for the `year` and `age` fields in `sample-index1`:
+
+```json
+GET sample-index1/_mapping/field/year,age
+```
+
+The response contains the specified fields:
+
+```json
+{
+  "sample-index1" : {
+    "mappings" : {
+      "year" : {
+        "full_name" : "year",
+        "mapping" : {
+          "year" : {
+            "type" : "text"
+          }
+        }
+      },
+      "age" : {
+        "full_name" : "age",
+        "mapping" : {
+          "age" : {
+            "type" : "integer"
+          }
