I just loaded a hundred thousand records using the bulk API. A the very end I receive the OK messages for each and every one of my inserts. Scrolls for about 2 minutes. Is there a way to disable this? Second question. Is it possible when using the bulk API that you just reference the Index in the CURL statement and then in the actual file just have the actual data records. Currently I have to basically repeat the Index every other line such as { "index" : {\_index" : ......... {"col1": val, "col2": val ...... { "index" : {\_index" : ......... {"col1": val, "col2": val ...... It would be nice if it was just like the following in the file {"col1": val, "col2": val ...... {"col1": val, "col2": val ...... {"col1": val, "col2": val ...... {"col1": val, "col2": val ...... {"col1": val, "col2": val ......

So I modified my input file (input.json) to look like { "index" : {"\_index" : "names", "\_type" : "ind1", "\_id" : "3038814", "field1": "T", "field2": "00"...}} { "index" : {"\_index" : "names", "\_type" : "ind1", "\_id" : "3038815", "field1": "T", "field2": "00"...}} /n (new line at end) and it appears to work, however it only loads the FIRST record and then returns?? curl -s XPOST localhost:9200/\_bulk --data-binary @input.json; echo Any thoughts on why it's only loading first record.

The second format you use is incorrect. Essentially you are just specifying a meta-data line, and not the document properties itself. Your first format is correct. If you pass the index and type in the URL, then you can reduce your metadata line to the minimum, eg: ``` { index: { id: 3038814}}\n { field1: "T", etc }\n ``` clint On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 5:03 PM, Mike Oakes [mdoakes42@gmail.com](mailto:mdoakes42@gmail.com) wrote: > So I modified my input file (input.json) to look like > { "index" : {"\_index" : "names", "\_type" : "ind1", "\_id" : "3038814", > "field1": "T", "field2": "00"...}} > { "index" : {"\_index" : "names", "\_type" : "ind1", "\_id" : "3038815", > "field1": "T", "field2": "00"...}} > /n (new line at end) > > and it appears to work, however it only loads the FIRST record and then > returns?? > > curl -s XPOST localhost:9200/\_bulk --data-binary @input.json; echo > > Any thoughts on why it's only loading first record.
