Bulk retry drops whole BulkResponse if only one BulkItemResponse can not be retried

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello. Not sure if canRetry method is intended to behave like this.

I have an index where sometimes I try to index the document that is already indexed getting CONFLICT(409) which is fine and should not be retried.
Sometimes, when under pressure, ES might respond with TOO_MANY_REQUESTS(429) to some of the items in the bulk. These should be retried.

When the combination of these responses ends up in BulkResponse canRetry returns false and nothing is retried.

I would expect that canRetry is applied to each BulkItemResponse and based on that retried or not.

Is this intended?
