Hi, I'm looking for an example of how to do a bulk insert w/ the new java-client (8.1).

Previously (w/ ES 7) I used the high level rest client and a `BulkProcessor` .

Thanks

The BulkProcessor has not been implemented yet in the new client but it will be soon.

Here's some code:

```auto
List<BulkOperation> operations = new ArrayList<>();
operations.add(new BulkOperation(IndexOperation.of(b -> b.index("person").id(person.idAsString()).document(person))));
esClient.bulk(br -> br.index("person").operations(operations));

```

The documentation will be improved in the future.

Here is also a useful class:

Thank you for your time. I'll give it a try soon.  
So I see it's on the agenda - do you have an estimate timeline?  
Thanks again.

I don't. @swallez would probably know if there is a target for this.

We don't have an exact target but it's very high on the feature priority list. Important to note also that it will be backported to 7.17.

I think [this is the issue](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-java/issues/108) regarding the bulk processor topic - for anyone else stumbling upon this thread in the future
