Hi,
I just found a weird return result in ES 2.3.1. I sent the following request to bulk API:
> {"index":{"\_index":"slabtest-2016.12.23","\_type":"etw"}}
> {"EventId":0,"EventDate":"2016-12-23T18:28:41.8426958Z","Keywords":0,"ProviderId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","ProviderName":null,"InstanceName":"instance","Level":0,"LevelName":"LogAlways","Message":null,"Opcode":0,"Task":0,"Version":0,"ProcessId":0,"ThreadId":0,"Payload\_msg":"1","Payload\_date":"2016-12-23T18:28:41.8426958Z"}

I was expecting results of index operation, but I got results of create operation.
I have tested it on Cloud and a Windows single node, both are returning the same result. On Windows 5.0.2 and 5.1.1, the results are correct.
Is it a bug? How can I collect more info if needed?
Thanks.

Without the output I can't really tell what you mean. If it is different in 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 then it might be a bug, but not a high enough priority one to backport to 2.x. Or just a difference between the two versions.

The bulk api request is 3 index operations:
```
{"index":{"_index":"slabtest-2016.12.27","_type":"etw"}}
{"EventId":0,"EventDate":"2016-12-27T14:18:12.7423148Z","Keywords":0,"ProviderId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","ProviderName":null,"InstanceName":"instance","Level":0,"LevelName":"LogAlways","Message":null,"Opcode":0,"Task":0,"Version":0,"ProcessId":0,"ThreadId":0,"Payload_msg":"1","Payload_date":"2016-12-27T14:18:12.7423148Z"}
{"index":{"_index":"slabtest-2016.12.27","_type":"etw"}}
{"EventId":0,"EventDate":"2016-12-27T14:18:12.7423148Z","Keywords":0,"ProviderId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","ProviderName":null,"InstanceName":"instance","Level":0,"LevelName":"LogAlways","Message":null,"Opcode":0,"Task":0,"Version":0,"ProcessId":0,"ThreadId":0,"Payload_msg":"2","Payload_date":"2016-12-27T14:18:12.7423148Z"}
{"index":{"_index":"slabtest-2016.12.27","_type":"etw"}}
{"EventId":0,"EventDate":"2016-12-27T14:18:12.7423148Z","Keywords":0,"ProviderId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000","ProviderName":null,"InstanceName":"instance","Level":0,"LevelName":"LogAlways","Message":null,"Opcode":0,"Task":0,"Version":0,"ProcessId":0,"ThreadId":0,"Payload_msg":"3","Payload_date":"2016-12-27T14:18:12.7423148Z"}
```
Here are the result in 2.3.1:
```
{
"took":1309,
"errors":false,
"items":[
{
"create":{
"_index":"slabtest-2016.12.27",
"_type":"etw",
"_id":"AVlAmvxnpgQrdcZHT7Z4",
"_version":1,
"_shards":{
"total":2,
"successful":1,
"failed":0
},
"status":201
}
},
{
"create":{
"_index":"slabtest-2016.12.27",
"_type":"etw",
"_id":"AVlAmvxnpgQrdcZHT7Z5",
"_version":1,
"_shards":{
"total":2,
"successful":1,
"failed":0
},
"status":201
}
},
{
"create":{
"_index":"slabtest-2016.12.27",
"_type":"etw",
"_id":"AVlAmvxnpgQrdcZHT7Z6",
"_version":1,
"_shards":{
"total":2,
"successful":1,
"failed":0
},
"status":201
}
}
]
}
```
And here is the result in 5.0.2 and 5.1.1:
```
{
"took":1405,
"errors":false,
"items":[
{
"index":{
"_index":"slabtest-2016.12.27",
"_type":"etw",
"_id":"AVlApVP6d2ep14HstVjy",
"_version":1,
"result":"created",
"_shards":{
"total":2,
"successful":1,
"failed":0
},
"created":true,
"status":201
}
},
{
"index":{
"_index":"slabtest-2016.12.27",
"_type":"etw",
"_id":"AVlApVP6d2ep14HstVjz",
"_version":1,
"result":"created",
"_shards":{
"total":2,
"successful":1,
"failed":0
},
"created":true,
"status":201
}
},
{
"index":{
"_index":"slabtest-2016.12.27",
"_type":"etw",
"_id":"AVlApVP6d2ep14HstVj0",
"_version":1,
"result":"created",
"_shards":{
"total":2,
"successful":1,
"failed":0
},
"created":true,
"status":201
}
}
]
}
```
The ES reply in 2.3.1 is confusing. Why am I getting **create** instead of **index**?
