Does anyone have any sample code to show me how to do bulk indexing from the Java API?

Hi,

you can see BulkRequestBuilder[http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/client/action/bulk/BulkRequestBuilder.java](http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/client/action/bulk/BulkRequestBuilder.java)in  
action for example in  
WikipediaRiver[http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/river/wikipedia/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/river/wikipedia/WikipediaRiver.java](http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/plugins/river/wikipedia/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/river/wikipedia/WikipediaRiver.java)  
(check  
how currentRequest variable is used).  
I think it is pretty simple. HTH.

Regards,  
Lukas
