Hi, I am trying to bulk load into the \_percolator index.

Unfortunately I am getting _{"error":"ActionRequestValidationException[Validation  
Failed: 1: no requests added;]","status":500}_  
here are the contents of my file: bulk\_one (it just has one query for  
testing purpose)

curl -XPOST localhost:9200/\_bulk --data-binary @bulk\_one (command I used)

* * *

{ "index" : { "\_index" : "\_percolator", "\_type" : "for\_sale\_listing", "\_id"  
: "9999-5268ae33140b548fe2000007" }}  
{"query":{"filtered":{"query":{"match\_all":{}},"filter":{"and":[{"and":[{"range":{"baths":{"from":1,"to":10}}},{"range":{"beds":{"from":0,"to":4}}},{"range":{"price":{"from":0,"to":8000}}},{"query":{"match\_phrase":{"postal\_code":"95930"}}},{"query":{"match\_phrase":{"city":"Sts,  
CA"}}}]}]}}}}

* * *

Note: there are just two lines one with meta info and second line that  
contains the query I want to put in the \_percolator index  
I am curious whether this is even possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

-A
