I am trying to import a large JSON file which contains millions of records and a file size of about 10GB. I wonder what is the best way to do this? The dataset is available here: [https://opentender.eu/all/download](https://opentender.eu/all/download) I initialy tried to split my JSON file into individual files containing just one record and use filebeats to upload them to elasticsearch but I feel there has to be a better way to do it... Thank you! ---

I think that's the right way. Or if you have one json document per line, may be you don't need to split into multiple files? ---
