Hi I am getting started with Elasticsearch and I would like to import a csv file into Elasticsearch index.  
The problem is that, it is getting timeout error (file size is around 8mb).

How would I increase the timeout?

ok, we can also import data using:

```auto
POST indexname/_doc
{
  "column1":"column1 value",
  "column2":"column2 value"
}

```
