Bulk API Indexing Status 500 Error NullPointerException[null]

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Dear all,

I am encountering a weird issue. When I use the Bulk API (REST) to index
documents, I am getting for the same documents each time the following
error returned:

"status":500,"error":"NullPointerException[null]"

However, when I re-index the rejected documents, it will index them the
second time.

Is there a work-around for this? Is it a connectivity issue?

Help greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Can you show the data you send in the bulk request, and your code?

Most probably you send null values for index or type.

I solved this by adding this setting in the index configuration.

"index" : {
"refresh_interval" : "-1"
}

So it was a connectivity issue after all. :slight_smile:
