I created one index and then tried to import a json file. But it displays a parsing error.  
Elasticsearch 7.2.0  
POST accounts/acc  
{  
"mappings": {  
"_default_": {  
"properties": {  
"account\_number": {  
"type": "integer"  
},  
"balance": {  
"type": "integer",  
"index": "not\_analyzed"  
},  
"firstname": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"age": {  
"type": "integer"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

PUT accounts/acc/\_bulk --data-binary @accounts.json

The json file is : [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/docs/src/test/resources/accounts.json](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/docs/src/test/resources/accounts.json)

error log is:  
{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "json\_parse\_exception",  
"reason": "Unrecognized token 'PUT': was expecting ('true', 'false' or 'null')\n at [Source: org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.ByteBufStreamInput@8f68b4c; line: 1, column: 5]"  
}  
],  
"type": "json\_parse\_exception",  
"reason": "Unrecognized token 'PUT': was expecting ('true', 'false' or 'null')\n at [Source: org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.ByteBufStreamInput@8f68b4c; line: 1, column: 5]"  
},  
"status": 500  
}
