Bulk Java API supported adding a payload to each request in ES version 6.8 :

```auto
public BulkProcessor add(DocWriteRequest request, @Nullable Object payload) {
        internalAdd(request, payload);
        return this;
    }

```

But this feature was removed in version7. Is there an alternative solution for this?  
I need to report failed documents.

Welcome!

There is a plan to reintroduce it within the new client. See

> With RHLC, one could use the BulkProcessor API to batch IndexRequests and Delete…Requests. Is there a recommended replacement for BulkProcessor when migrating to elasticsearch-java?

In the meantime, you could do something very similar by yourself. See
