I am trying to run mongo-connector to map mongodb to elasticsearch, but am getting

```
BulkIndexError: (document(s) failed to index.'

```

The command used is `mongo-connector -m localhost:27017 -t localhost:9200 -d elastic2_doc_manager`.

**MongoDB** version is `3.2.7`. OS `CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)`

**Mongo** is set to run in replica mode

```
replication:
  oplogSizeMB: 10240
  replSetName: "rs0"

```

Any idea?

Thanks

Any help, greatly appreciated.

Fixed it myself , it was just that ES is less forgiving 🙂
