Hi everyone,  
I have an java application which uses Elasticsearch and RestHighLevelClient.  
The application simply reads csv files and creates a List of Maps java using Jackson CSV Mapper.  
After that the Map is indexed in Elasticsearch by BulkRequest  
BulkRequest bulkRequest = new BulkRequest();

```auto
for ( Map<String, Object> value : data ) {
	bulkRequest.add(new IndexRequest(index).source(value));
}
BulkResponse br = restHighLevelClient.bulk(bulkRequest, RequestOptions.DEFAULT); 

```

I have not make any class corresponding to document in Java .  
Now I am migrating my source code to new JavaAPI Client and using ElasticsearchClient in place of RestHighLevelClient.

> **[Elasticsearch Java API Client \[7.16\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api-client/current/index.html)**

Can, anyone guide me through how to create BulkRequest using ElasticsearchClient using Map only and not defining Document class because what i have seen mentioning Document type has been made mandatory.

I did a similar move recently. Not exactly the same but still.

So this code could help you hopefully:

@swallez helped me writing it 😉

The client still needs some documentation to be written... A huge task for sure...

Also, this is a bit burried in the source code, but here is a useful Test class:

Thank you @dadoonet this is really helpful.

Finally got something to proceed with.
