Hello everyone,

I am trying to upload the data to elasticsearch using `helpers.bulk`

```auto
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch, helpers
data = []
my_data = {"_index": ES_INDEX.format(strftime("%Y.%m.%d", gmtime())),
                                 "_type": type,
                                 "_source": res_json}
data.append (my_data)
helpers.bulk(es, adds_diag)

```

and I have the error:  
`BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe`

I am quite new to elasticsearch and could not figure out what is the problem.

Might you suggest me some possible causes for the issue?

Thanks
