Bulk api syntax error in kopf plugin

[Yaswanth]

Hi everyone,

when i am using bulk api in the kopf plugin i am getting an syntax error . I copied the code that is present in the elasticsearch 5.1 guide.My code is

POST _bulk
{

{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
{ "delete" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "2" } }
{ "create" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "3" } }
{ "field1" : "value3" }
{ "update" : {"_id" : "1", "_type" : "type1", "_index" : "test"} }
{ "doc" : {"field2" : "value2"} }
}

Even i tried giving \n at the end of each line but nothing solved the problem. Can anyone help me in solving it ?

Thanks

What is the error?

[Yaswanth]

Even i tried different ways like:
1)Giving "\n" at every end of the line .
2)Giving "\n" at end of last line.
3)Even i tried removing flower brackets at top and bottom
But the error remains..

Remove the first and last line that only contain a curly brace. Each line need to be a JSON object followed by a newline.

[Yaswanth]

That means you want me to add newline(\n) at the end of each line..pls correct me if i am wrong

[Christian_Dahlqvist]

The correct format is described here, so the request body should look as follows:

{ "index" : { "index" : "test", "type" : "type1", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
{ "delete" : { "index" : "test", "type" : "type1", "_id" : "2" } }
{ "create" : { "index" : "test", "type" : "type1", "_id" : "3" } }
{ "field1" : "value3" }
{ "update" : {"id" : "1", "type" : "type1", "_index" : "test"} }
{ "doc" : {"field2" : "value2"} }

I have however never used Kopf for bulk requests, so do not know it adds any formatting or validations behind the scenes.

Thanks for your help but still it is showing syntax error..

[Christian_Dahlqvist]

Aha, you need to look at the example in the link I provided. It should look as follows:

{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
{ "delete" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "2" } }
{ "create" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "3" } }
{ "field1" : "value3" }
{ "update" : {"_id" : "1", "_type" : "type1", "_index" : "test"} }
{ "doc" : {"field2" : "value2"} }

In your example some of the fields do not have the required starting underscore.

Thankyou .. Eventhough when i used the code in the link which you had given the kopf plugin is showing syntax error but when i tried executing it .It worked fine..
