I don't quite undertsand what the bulk processor is doing this, I would like someone to explain how it is upposed to work to make sure I designed this correctly. I specify the number of actions 1000. my feeder keeos pushing documents to it "Its more like a loop iterating documents folders", and I push eash document to the bulk. I expected the bulk to queue things until it reaches 1000 docs, then processes the bulk? Yet, this is how it logs, thie comes from the call back functions of the bulk processor.

It also flush docs after a given time, let's say every 5 seconds. BTW there is a small issue which basically flush the Bulk every n-1 docs instead of n.

David, Sorry, I didn't quite follow, does it do the flushing automatically or am I supposed to tell it?

It does it automatically. You just have to properly call .close() when you stop you application. It will process the pending requests before actually exiting. -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 14 mars 2014 à 15:50:48, ZenMaster80 ([sabdalla80@gmail.com](mailto:sabdalla80@gmail.com)) a écrit: David, Sorry, I didn't quite follow, does it do the flushing automatically or am I supposed to tell it?
