ErrorHandling when using BulkProcessor for delete

I am Using BulkProcessor for bulk delete.
How do I get errors if any of the bulks failed?
Is there an Exception thrown?
Is there any way to see the bulk, and deleteRequests that failed?

hello @aasher! when you use bulk, examle in php you call function $res = $this->client->bulk($data); in @res you have one response for each document that you send, and in the [delete][status] you have code 200 if it works or 400 if it fails, you have also the message why line doesn't work. and they are not exeption thrown, because even if a request fails in the middle all the other request after and before will work.

even if you dont use any lib (java, php..) but you use curl in your shell you have the same answer !

Hello Camilo_Siera! Thank you very much for the quick response.
I have to user BulkProcessor.add(DeleteRequest)
and not using BulkRequest.
The questionis, how do I get the response in this way.
Thanks again,
Angela

Another thing.
What is the best way to handle the errors. I am getting from BulkRequest the list if the ActionRequest. I need to save those requests for further handling ( maybe try the action again after some time ). How do I save the data? I am using oracle DB.

Thanks,
Angela

We can't easily tell whether part of the request was successful or or all of it completely failed, say for instance you get a network disconnect.

Probably just repeat the entire request is the way to go.
