Basically, I'm trying to get the raw JSON that would be sent to elasticsearch for indexing, _without actually indexing it_. Is there any way to do this? I didn't see anything in the docs or unit tests that would be useful. Thanks, -Rian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I'm think I'm using 0.12.0. I'll check out the pre-release version. Will it allow me to get the bulk JSON doc as well? (Because that would be super sweet!) Looking at the elasticsearch blog entry about NEST, the relevant change looks like this one?
