I'd like to know. Which is better performance using between bulk load and index? It is clearly that it has better performance we index some/many documents from bulk api. How about index 1 document from using bulk and index? Bulk Load: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html) index: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index\_.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index_.html) ---

I would expect very little difference in that case. ---
