An error message is generated, but the log is processed normally.

I don't see the full code but may be the last call does not add any new document?

BTW you should look at the BulkProcessor class.

please look at my topic in which this problem is fixed but i dont know why shoud do so. you need add one more line before or after the bulkProcessor.add which is "bulkRequest.add". My code is like this

```auto
bulkRequest.add(new IndexRequest("articles", "article", String.valueOf(j)).source(lineTxt, XContentType.JSON));
bulkProcessor.add(new IndexRequest("articles", "article", String.valueOf(j)).source(lineTxt, XContentType.JSON));

```
