Hey guys, thought others might find this useful. I wrote a DSL for bulk  
loading data into elasticsearch from the CLI. It comes in a single .jar  
with a very human readable syntax. While es\_dump\_restore looks nice I  
needed a tool with no dependencies except java. It can be found  
here: [https://github.com/andrewvc/elastic-loader](https://github.com/andrewvc/elastic-loader)

An example import file might look something like:

# Issue an HTTP Request, without stopping due to failure

TRY DELETE /foo

# Issue an HTTP request that will stop the import if it fails

POST /foo {"\_mapping": {}}

# Bulk index items of type bar into the foo index

BULK INDEX foo/bar  
{"user": "foo", "\_id": 1}  
{"user": "baz", "\_id": 3}

# Bulk index items of type baz into the foo index

BULK INDEX foo/baz  
{"ohai": "bort"}  
{"ohai": "there", "\_id": 1}  
DELETE /foo/baz/1

The tool itself is written in clojure, and should be pretty snappy.
