Hi,

The bulk operation is throwing erro. Could someone please have a look. I  
read the earlier posts but did not get any clue. i am running 0.12 elastic  
search version.

Error :  
response status: 500  
{u'error': u'ActionRequestValidationException[Validation Failed: 1: no  
requests added]'}

Request :

making POST request to path: localhost 9200 /\_bulk with body: "{"index":  
{"\_type": "india", "\_index": "location"}}\n{"timezone":  
"Asia/Kolkata", "location": {"lat": "27.75", "lon": "88.26667"},  
"id": "1252676", "name": "Zemu Glacier"}\n"

Thanks  
Smruti
