Have you looked at the documentation? As far as I can see it contains at least [one example](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api-client/8.5/indexing-bulk.html) of creating documents with custom ID. It would generally help if you provided information about exactly which client and version you are using as well as what you have tried so far. ---
