create #

Creates a new collection in Kuzzle via the persistence engine, in the provided index. You can also provide an optional data mapping that allow you to exploit the full capabilities of our persistent data storage layer, ElasticSearch (check here the mapping capabilities of ElasticSearch).

This method will only update the mapping if the collection already exists.
