Hi Team,

String json = "{" +  
""user":"kimchy"," +  
""postDate":"2013-01-30"," +  
""message":"trying out Elasticsearch"" +  
"}";  
IndexResponse response= client.prepareIndex("test1,"testType", "")  
.setSource(json)  
.setOpType(IndexRequest.OpType.CREATE)  
.execute()  
.actionGet();  
System.out.println("Id "+response.getId());  
System.out.println("Index "+response.getIndex());  
System.out.println("Type "+response.getType());  
System.out.println("Created "+response.status());  
System.out.println("Created "+response.toString());

I ran above code through Java and "response.getId()" is returned null. I think, If we don't provide Id, ElasticSearch will create one. Looks like it is not doing that way. Can you please let me know what am i missing.
