Create mappings for elasticsearch
Elasticsearch needs to know what type of data each document's field contains. This information is contained in the "mapping", or schema definition. Elasticsearch will use dynamic mapping to try to guess the field type from the basic datatypes available in JSON, but some field's properties have to be explicitly declared to tune the indexing engine. To do that, use the freezer-db-init command:

freezer-db-init [db-host]

The url of the db-host is optional and can be automatically guessed from /etc/freezer-api.conf
