I am practising elasticsearch(ES) and using Marvel plugin to run my queries. I see the query in ES documentation to load data from a .json file but, [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/\_exploring\_your\_data.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_exploring_your_data.html) curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/bank/account/\_bulk?pretty' --data-binary @accounts.json this is the command for linux users. But how to run same command from Marvel I copied the accounts.json file to elasticsearh/bin folder and I tried multiple ways POST /bank/account/\_bulk?pretty accounts.json but it giving error. Need your help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

The bulk end point uses a different - flattened - JSON layout. So, you cannot just use that example directly. But it's also not clear exactly what you are trying to do? If you look at the Guide (not just reference), it gives complete Mavel/Sense examples including once that load into your local Sense UI. That should make it clear what you need to do. Regards, Alex.
