I am using python's elasticsearch client for doing elasticsearch 7 related activities.  
For bulk indexing documents to ES elasticsearch's parallel\_bulk helper function is being used.  
Following is the sample code...

```
    helpers.parallel_bulk(self.esclient, 
                          gen_es_data,
                          thread_count = 4, chunk_size = 1000, 
                          max_chunk_bytes = 104857600, queue_size = 4, 
                          raise_on_exception = True)

```

In this way how can add refresh option, so that I can trigger a refresh and the documents that I indexed will be readily available
