examples.

Your question is a little confusing -- it sounds like you know what
you need to do.

Convert the PDFs to text strings and submit them as JSON documents to
the search engine.

There is the REST index API documented here:
http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/rest_api/index/. There is
also a built in Java client fully documented on the site:
http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java_api/, and many client
libraries written in different languages:
http://www.elasticsearch.com/products/.

p.s. I know its very culture specific (one thing is one culture can be
considered very rude in another), and in my several open source years I have
learned not to judge what people say solely based on my cultural bias (and
we all "suffer" from it), but I encourage people not to "shout" (uppercase)
in the mailing list, and try and keep the discussion civil.

You still didn't answer the question. HOW do I submit an entire
document, and more importantly, how do I submit thousands
of documents? What do I need to read, or what is the syntax
used to load the docs into the engine?
