Dear group, I'm experiencing an issue with Bulk API. Here is an example set of commands to be processed using the bulk API : { "index" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "1" } } { "title" : "Great Title of doc 1" } { "index" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "2" } } { "title" : "Great Title of doc 2" } { "update" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "1" } } { "doc" : { "date" : "2014-04-30T23:59:57" }} { "update" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "2" } } { "doc" : { "date" : "2014-04-31T00:00:01" }} { "delete" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "1" } } { "delete" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "2" } } Here, the 4th command (update of document with \_id == 2) is expected to fail, and it does (The date is invalid, April's days are in the [1-30] range). Here is the response I get from the API : { "took" : 4, "errors" : true, "items" : [ { "index" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "1", "\_version" : 8, "status" : 201 } }, { "index" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "2", "\_version" : 5, "status" : 201 } }, { "update" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "1", "\_version" : 9, "status" : 200 } }, { "index" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "2", "status" : 400, "error" : "MapperParsingException[failed to parse [date]]; nested: MapperParsingException[failed to parse date field [2014-04-31T00:00:01], tried both date format [dateOptionalTime], and timestamp number with locale []]; nested: IllegalFieldValueException[Cannot parse "2014-04-31T00:00:01": Value 31 for dayOfMonth must be in the range [1,30]]; " } }, { "delete" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "1", "\_version" : 10, "status" : 200, "found" : true } }, { "delete" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "2", "\_version" : 6, "status" : 200, "found" : true } } ] } As we can see, the 4th item in the response is : { "index" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "2", "status" : 400, "error" : "MapperParsingException[failed to parse [date]]; nested: MapperParsingException[failed to parse date field [2014-04-31T00:00:01], tried both date format [dateOptionalTime], and timestamp number with locale []]; nested: IllegalFieldValueException[Cannot parse "2014-04-31T00:00:01": Value 31 for dayOfMonth must be in the range [1,30]]; " } } I don't understand why the key for the item is "index" while the action was an update. I was expecting the response for item #4 to be: { "update" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "2", "status" : 400, "error" : "MapperParsingException[failed to parse [date]]; nested: MapperParsingException[failed to parse date field [2014-04-31T00:00:01], tried both date format [dateOptionalTime], and timestamp number with locale []]; nested: IllegalFieldValueException[Cannot parse "2014-04-31T00:00:01": Value 31 for dayOfMonth must be in the range [1,30]]; " } } I looked into the source code, and I think the mismatch between the operation type in the result and in the command comes from the following line of code [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/1.1/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/action/bulk/TransportShardBulkAction.java#L317](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/1.1/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/action/bulk/TransportShardBulkAction.java#L317), but I can be wrong, I didn't edit it to verify. I could dig deeper, simply open an issue, or provide more details, depending on what do you guys actually prefer. I'm using elasticsearch v1.1.1.

It looks like a bug to me. I think you should open issue and add all those details in.
