Hi,

I'm using the Java High Level REST Client to build an index. To speed up index creation I'm using bulk operations.

As per docs I'm creating a BulkRequest and add 200 IndexRequests to it. Then I send off the BulkRequest and inspect the BulkResponse.

After the index build has been running for about an hour I start getting _null_ elements in the BulkResponse. A quick glance at BulkResponse's code suggests that this is something that's not expected.

Before I start digging into this deeper I thought I'd ask here if somebody has seen this before. Or maybe I'm doning soemthing stupid?
