I'm wondering if it is guaranteed that the responses that I get back from the bulk-api have the very same ordering as my individual request that I sent in. If not, is there any way to connect an individual response to an individual request? If yes, and if I did not look over it, it might be a good idea to put this in the documentation.

Hey, the order guaranteed. action 345 in request will be action 345 in the response... Regarding the documentation: Very valid point, will be fixed. --Alex On Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 9:28 AM, Peter van der Weerd [pw2@bitmanager.nl](mailto:pw2@bitmanager.nl)wrote: > I'm wondering if it is guaranteed that the responses that I get back from > the bulk-api have the very same ordering as my individual request that I > sent in. > > If not, is there any way to connect an individual response to an > individual request? > If yes, and if I did not look over it, it might be a good idea to put this > in the documentation. > > Thanks, > Peter > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
