Hi, **actions=[{'id':0 ,'imgurl':'abc', 'description':'abc'} , {} ,{}...]** I have such json arrays, when i run **bulk(es,actions,index="index\_name",doc\_type="json")** in python i get the following error, **object mapping for [imgurl] tried to parse field [imgurl] as object but found a concrete value.** ---

Check your mapping. The field is defined as an object and not as a text. May be you indexed other documents previously which don't have the same data structure. ---
