The format is bulk API has changed in 0.12, it requires setting \_index, \_type and \_id (and not index, type, and id). -shay.banon On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 6:39 AM, Smruti [smruti.parida@gmail.com](mailto:smruti.parida@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > > The bulk operation is throwing error.

Thanks Shay.. But if you observe, i am using the same format as mentiones above. {"index": {"\_type": "india", "\_index": "location"}}\n ....

Sorry, I missed that. Does it work via curl? What library do you use to interact with elasticsearch?

Hi, did you check the following thread in mail list? [http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Bulk-via-curl-not-working-in-data-in-file-tp1793039p1793039.html](http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Bulk-via-curl-not-working-in-data-in-file-tp1793039p1793039.html) I had problems using bulk api via curl and I was getting the same exception. Obviously the problem was the "new line" character. Note that when I used curl I did not explicitly included "\n" into data.
