Hello all,

I am trying to insert multiple indices in Elasticsearch using single document API. I have around 9000 multiple indices. And each index has multiple documents.

single document API: `es.index(index=myObject._id, doc_type=doc_name, body=records,request_timeout=40)`

The process starts fine but interestingly enough after inserting 499 random indices (having multiple documents), I receive an error during inserting action.

The error is:

```auto
RequestError(400, 'illegal_argument_exception', '[9de9df3c092bfd8ae79870249a31cf28][x.x.x.x:9300][indices:admin/create]').

```

I am running Elasticsearch on AWS and I am using Python Elasticsearch Client

Is there anyone who can help me with this error?

Thanks  
Khushal Adlakha
