1、先引入pom依赖：

<dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
            <artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
            <version>7.8.0</version>
        </dependency>
        <!-- elasticsearch的客户端 -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
            <artifactId>elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client</artifactId>
            <version>7.8.0</version>
        </dependency>
        <!-- elasticsearch依赖2.x的log4j -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
            <version>2.8.2</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
            <version>2.8.2</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
            <version>2.9.9</version>
        </dependency>
        <!-- junit单元测试 -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>4.12</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

2、然后在main方法里进行测试：

import org.apache.http.HttpHost;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RequestOptions;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.elasticsearch.client.indices.CreateIndexRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.client.indices.CreateIndexResponse;

public class ESTest_Index_Create {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        RestHighLevelClient esClient = new RestHighLevelClient(
                RestClient.builder(new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http"))
        );

        // 创建索引
        CreateIndexRequest request = new CreateIndexRequest("user");
        CreateIndexResponse createIndexResponse =
                esClient.indices().create(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

        // 响应状态
        boolean acknowledged = createIndexResponse.isAcknowledged();
        System.out.println("索引操作 ：" + acknowledged);

        esClient.close();
    }
}

如果acknowledged的值等于true，则表示创建成功：
