How to take a bulk input from json file where each object is terminated by newline.  
I tried -\>  
curl -XPOST [http://localhost:9200/az/doc/\_bulk](http://localhost:9200/az/doc/_bulk) -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @test.json

my test.json looks like - {  
"name":"John",  
"age":30,  
"cars":["Ford", "BMW", "Fiat"]  
}  
{  
"name":"John1",  
"age":33,  
"cars":["Ford", "BMW", "Fiat"]  
}

az is index.  
it's giving error -\> {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"The bulk request must be terminated by a newline [\n]"}],"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"The bulk request must be terminated by a newline [\n]"},"status":400}

What should be the correct way to do this?  
Please help!
