Hello team,  
I'm facing a serious issue while trying to index a document.  
I've simple java object "Country" which contains simple fields. Shown below;

```
    @JsonProperty("country")
private String countryName;

@JsonProperty("states")
private List<State> states;

@JsonProperty("population")
private List<PopulationYearModel> population;

```

And State object as;

```
@JsonProperty("state")
private final String stateName;

@JsonProperty("population")
private final List<PopulationYearModel> population;

```

And last PopulationYearModel as;

```
private int year;

private long population;

```

This is a very simple object.

Now when i'm trying to index a country object; as below;

```
IndexRequest request = client.prepareIndex().setIndex(indexName).setType(mapping.getIndexType())
			.setSource(datas, XContentType.JSON).request();

```

I'm getting an issues that ;  
index {[world\_population][population][null], source[n/a, a**ctual length: [4.8kb], max length: 2kb**]}

How to fix this... ?

Can you show what is a JSON document generated by your code?

@dadoonet: I'm converting object to Bytes rather in String.

Though if i use the same json using Kibana dev tools, with POST http method, this document got indexed.  
But not from the java code mentioned above.

Problem Resolved.  
It was due to bulk-processor. Since the setting of it are such that it never reaches to a threshold to execute the processor. Triggering the `bulkprocessor.flush()` does the job.

But I still don't understand, why it doesn't happen automatically, once the whole stream is completed.

There was no mention of bulk in your initial question right?
