Hello, i am currently hosting ElasticSearch on a server and we are trying to do a bulk upload of 1 million documents which have in-depth nested mappings, we are sending the content from another computer to the server where ElasticSearch lives using bulk upload and curl commands for batch files. This is really slow and was looking for advice on the right way of uploading documents to ElasticSearch the fastest possible way.
