I have installed elasticsearch version 2.3.2. I have to add index and type to that elasticsearch. Before I used sense plugin to achieve this. But the addon was removed from webstore. Please give suggestion.

In Elasticsearch, an index (plural: indices) contains a schema and can have one or more shards and replicas. An Elasticsearch index is divided into shards and each shard is an instance of a Lucene index. Indices are used to store the documents in dedicated data structures corresponding to the data type of fields.
Basically, a type in Elasticsearch represented a class of similar documents and had a name such as customer or item . Lucene has no concept of document data types, so Elasticsearch would store the type name of each document in a metadata field of a document called _type.
You can use a Rest client like postman to do this. You can get the postman as a chrome extension.
The other way is to do an SSH into one of the nodes in your cluster and run the POST command using CURL.
`curl -X POST 'localhost:9200/bookindex/books' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"bookId" : "A00-3",
"author" : "Sankaran",
"publisher" : "Mcgrahill",
"name" : "how to get a job"
}'
I will automatically create an index named 'bookindex' with type 'books' and index the data. If index and type already exist it will add the entry to the index.

Sense plugin is now a Kibana app. Please refer official reference for installation.
The answer of your question is, you can create index and type in Elasticsearch by running below curl command
curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9200/IndexName/TypeName"
