I successfully created an index, the last few lines after index was created.  
`{ "create" : { "_index" : "nfltest", "_type" : "external", "_id" : "AVIRFrqdQfEj8oBbCsmr", "_version" : 1, "_shards" : { "total" : 2, "successful" : 1, "failed" : 0 }, "status" : 201 } }, { "create" : { "_index" : "nfltest", "_type" : "external", "_id" : "AVIRFrqdQfEj8oBbCsms", "_version" : 1, "_shards" : { "total" : 2, "successful" : 1, "failed" : 0 }, "status" : 201 } } ] }`

and then I run  
`curl 'localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v'`

which gives me the following result

`health status index pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size yellow open nfltest 5 1 44896 0 8.6mb 8.6mb`

but when I tried to run

`curl -XGET localhost:9200/nfltest/external/_bulk?pretty`

the result is  
`{ "_index" : "nfltest", "_type" : "external", "_id" : "_bulk", "found" : false }`

I also find this post :[Document found with \_search but not with GET](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/document-found-with--search-but-not-with-get/17719)

it did return result when I use \_search .  
any idea how can I fix it? Thank you

The bulk api is used to perform many index/delete operations in a single API call (see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html) )

It is used with -XPOST or -XPUT.

What your command does is try to access a document with id "\_bulk" (see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-get.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-get.html) )

Thanks ! I see why, but is there anyway that I can query the index generated by bulk api through the terminal?

Also I have some mapping issues, I was following this tutorial :[Data visualization with Elasticsearch aggregations and D3](https://www.elastic.co/blog/data-visualization-elasticsearch-aggregations)  
since it was published in 2014, and used the old version of ES, I rewrote the mapping file, the original mapping is [here](https://github.com/stormpython/nfl-elastic-aggregations/blob/master/dataset/mappings/nfl_mapping.json) .  
My mapping :

{  
"mappings": {

```
 "external": {

   "properties": {
         "gameid" : {
            "type" : "string",
            "index" : "not_analyzed",
            "store" : "true"
        },

        "qtr" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true"
        },

        "min" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true",
             "ignore_malformed": "true"
            },

        "sec" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true"             
        },

        "off" : {
            "type" : "string"           
        },
        "def" : {
            "type" : "string"            
        },

        "down" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true",
            "ignore_malformed": "true"
        },

        "togo" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true",
            "ignore_malformed": "true"
        },

        "ydline" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true",
            "ignore_malformed": "true"
        },

        "scorediff" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true"
        },

        "series1stdn" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true"
        },

        "description" : {
            "type" : "string",
            "store" : "true"
        },

        "scorechange" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true"
        },

        "nextscore" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true"
        },

        "teamwin" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true"
        },

        "offscore" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true"
        },

        "defscore" : {
            "type" : "short",
            "store" : "true"
        },

        "season" : {
            "type" : "date",
            "format" : "YYYY",
           "ignore_malformed": "true"
        }
    }
 }

```

}  
}  
`

I keep getting this error  
`{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters:`  
I went through the break change document, still have no idea which parameter should be replaced or rewrite.
