How to create index type and id in create index request?

Question

I am using IndexRequest from elastic 6.3.2. Now I changed to version 7.6.2. How can I do the same below steps using the CreateIndexRequest?

Elastic rest high level client 6.3.2 code:

 public Object createIndex(Object document, String id) throws IOException {

        Map documentMapper = objectMapper.convertValue(document, Map.class);

        IndexRequest indexRequest = new IndexRequest(this.getIndexName(),
                type, id).source(documentMapper, XContentType.JSON);

        IndexResponse indexResponse = client.index(indexRequest);
        return null;
    }

After switching to 7.6.2 I am not able to create type, id and source in CreateIndexRequest.

types are deprecated in Elasticsearch 7.X and below is the code, which works for me using the resthighlevel client.

Please note I am not using the type and id in CreateIndexRequest method of resthighlevel client.

String indexString = jsonUtil.getStringFromFile(indexName + ".mapping");
CreateIndexRequest request = new CreateIndexRequest(indexName);
request.source(indexString, XContentType.JSON);
client.indices().create(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

Please see removal of types for more information.
