NEST 7.9 Bulk Partial Update failing

[venkatsvr4 (venkat reddy)]

I am using Nest 7.9 client to bulk update documents in a huge index. Followed below 6.6 link to set up updates in C#

Please explain how to perform a bulk update with partials using UpdateMany

I am really surprised by the lack of documentation for the NEST client. I am using NEST 6.6.0. I have an array of partial documents (anonymous objects) -- each includes an id field and the fields that I want to update. Please show me an example of how to do this. I've seen an example where the you have to pass an IEnumerable< T > instead of IEnumerable< TPartial >, but that doesn't make sense. I have a bunch of partial documents that include the ids already. Is there a way to do this?

     List<JObject> jiras = new List<JObject>();
                    JObject id1 = new JObject();
                    id1.Add("id", "vlHNQnEBb8EcauKoEC0r");id1.Add("_type", "_doc");id1.Add("issue", "VIPENG - 37376");
                    JObject id2 = new JObject();
                    id2.Add("id", "lHFQnEBb8EcauKowyzQ");
                    id2.Add("_type", "_doc");
                    jiras.Add(id1); jiras.Add(id2);
                    var bulkResponse = client.Bulk(b => b
                    .Index("issue_updated")
                    .UpdateMany(jiras.ToArray(), (bu, d) => bu.Doc(d)));

Not able to set id,type for documents as shown below

# Invalid Bulk items:

{"update":{"_id":null}}
{"doc":{"id":"lHFQnEBb8EcauKowyzQ","_type":"_doc"}}

Can someone please let me know how to set id and type of bulk documents?

Assuming you're also using JsonNetSerializer, the .Id() should also be set in the UpdateMany() call, since NEST has no way of inferring an Id property from an instance of JObject

List<JObject> jiras = new List<JObject>();
JObject id1 = new JObject();
id1.Add("id", "vlHNQnEBb8EcauKoEC0r"); id1.Add("_type", "_doc"); id1.Add("issue", "VIPENG - 37376");
JObject id2 = new JObject();
id2.Add("id", "lHFQnEBb8EcauKowyzQ");
id2.Add("_type", "_doc");
jiras.Add(id1); jiras.Add(id2);

var bulkResponse = client.Bulk(b => b
	.Index("issue_updated")
	.UpdateMany(jiras, (bu, d) => bu.Doc(d).Id(d["id"].Value<string>()))
);

NEST 7.9 does not expose setting a document type, and "_doc" is the value automatically used by Elasticsearch 7.x, so no need to set it.
