Is it possible to use the ingestion plugin in a bulk request?

[apanimesh061]

I have a total of around 500,000 documents that was earlier inserting using bulk request of 1000 at a time.
But before I had an ingestion plugin I using a library externally to transform the input and then collect them for a bulk insertion.

Now that I have an ingestion plugin for my purpose, how can I use it to perform bulk document transforms and then send the documents for a bulk insertion?

I am using Elasticsearch 5.2.1.

Just add ?pipeline=your_pipeline to the bulk request.

@dadoonet Thanks for the response.

I used this command to ingest a document using a pipeline I created:

curl -X PUT 'http://localhost:9200/test_index/review/1?pipeline=apply-vader-review' -d '{
	"content": "The plot was good, but the characters are uncompelling and the dialog is not great."
}'

The ingested document looks like this:

{
    "_index":"test_index",
    "_type":"review",
    "_id":"1",
    "_score":1,
    "_source":{
        "content":"The plot was good, but the characters are uncompelling and the dialog is not great.",
        "polarity":{
            "negative":0.327,
            "neutral":0.579,
            "positive":0.094,
            "compound":-0.7042
        }
    }
}

I see that I have to give an _id for a request. How will I follow this format if I want the document id to be auto-generated during a bulk ingestion?

I figured it out. This is _bulk request I tried and was successful.

curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9200/test_index/review/_bulk?pipeline=apply-vader-review' -d 
'{ "index" : { "_index" : "test_index", "_type" : "review"} }
{"content": "The plot was good, but the characters are uncompelling and the dialog is not great."}
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test_index", "_type" : "review"} }
{"content": "The plot was good, but the characters are uncompelling and the dialog is not great."}
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test_index", "_type" : "review"} }
{"content": "The plot was good, but the characters are uncompelling and the dialog is not great."}' 

Thanks for your help!
