Hi
I have created index using Rabbitmq.
my database table contain the following Fields and values:
## RecordId Name Address Age
## 1 abc xxx1 11 2 def xxx2 12 3 ghi xxx3 13 4 jkl xxx4 14 5 mno xxx5 15
For indexing,i have follow the following steps:
1. create j'son document for each record for eg.
{"recordid":"1","name":"abc","address":"xxx1","age":"11"} .
2. after preparing j son document publish into Rabbitmq queue.
3 i have consumer class that listen those message and create
index(using Bulk API) here is the code- [https://gist.github.com/1330001](https://gist.github.com/1330001)

Just push your new version of the document with the SAME ID. ES will update it.
