if I set Bulk size number of files at 5000, I feed it 5000, 5000, 5000, what happens if the #of files for instance in the last batch is 2000. How does it know that it needs to process the last 2000 ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

There is a TimeOut so every x seconds whatever the number of docs in Bulk. Also when the bulkprocessor is closed, remaining elements are processed. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs > Le 7 mars 2014 à 21:51, ZenMaster80 [sabdalla80@gmail.com](mailto:sabdalla80@gmail.com) a écrit : > > ## if I set Bulk size number of files at 5000, I feed it 5000, 5000, 5000, what happens if the #of files for instance in the last batch is 2000.
