400 malformed issue while inserting into Elastic using JAVA Apache Beam

Elastic Search
1

Hi,

We are trying to inject data using our Apache Beam JAVA code to Elastic search Index. But whenever we try to inject the data we get a malformed error 400. This is the code I am trying to insert data into Elasticsearch. Can someone help?

PCollection jsonRecords = pipeline.apply(READ_PARQUET_FILES,
ParquetIO.read(helpJoinedRecordSchema)
.from(helpDailyFolder))
.setCoder(AvroCoder.of(GenericRecord.class, helpJoinedRecordSchema))
.apply(CONVERT_TO_JSON,
ParDo.of(new HelpDailyGenericRecordToJsonFn(indexName)));

    PCollection<String> json = jsonRecords
            .apply("Create Bulk Requests", ParDo.of(new DoFn<String, String>() {
                @ProcessElement
                public void processElement(@Element String json, OutputReceiver<String> out) {
                    String documentId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
                    try {
                        String indexActionJson = "{ \"index\" : { \"_index\" : \"" + indexName + "\", \"_id\" : \"" + documentId + "\" } }";
                        String bulkRequestJson = indexActionJson + "\n" + json + "\n";
                        //log.info("bulk " + bulkRequestJson);
                        out.output(bulkRequestJson);
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        log.error("Error creating Bulk API request JSON: ", e);
                    }
                }
            }));
    json.apply("Write to Elasticsearch", ElasticsearchIO.write()
            .withConnectionConfiguration(connectElasticSearchIndex(indexName))
            .withMaxBatchSize(BATCH_SIZE_BYTES)
            .withMaxBatchSizeBytes(5000));

Caused by: org.elasticsearch.client.ResponseException: method [POST], host [xxxxxx:9243], URI [/aws_live/_doc/_bulk], status line [HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request]
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"Malformed content, found extra data after parsing: START_OBJECT"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"Malformed content, found extra data after parsing: START_OBJECT"},"status":400}

i suspect some thing with data format. because the error Malformed content found extra data after parsing: START_OBJECT typically indicates an issue with the format of the JSON being sent to Elasticsearch’s bulk API ….The bulk API expects newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON) format, where each line contains a separate JSON object and actions (such as “index”) are specified on a separate line from the document.

Yes I thought that could be the issue. So I tried to print my data before doing the Elastic write operation. I could notice the JSON formatted with the index name and my actual data in another line with new line space as shown below. This is how i could see the values formed when i am trying to print the json logs. Also i tried using ElasticsearchIO.docToBulk() instead of ElasticsearchIO.write(). When i use docToBulk() method i dont get this error but i dont see the data getting written to my Elasticsearch index. So i am not sure what i am missing here?

{ "index" : { "_index" : "xxxx", "_id" : "9ee466d5-a72d-4fa1-bde6-96dad3e4d503" } }
{"id":null,"myfields":null}

{ "index" : { "_index" : "xxxx", "_id" : "9ee466d5-a72d-4fa1-bde6-96dad3e4d504" } }
{"id":null,"myfields":null}
