Hi Team,
We are using Elasticsearch database version 7.10.2 and also Elasticsearch java client - 7.17.20 in pom.xml
Implemented BulkRequest using the new Elasticsearch java client as below:
BulkRequest.Builder bulkRequestBuilder = new BulkRequest.Builder();
audit.es7.org.elasticsearch.action.bulk.BulkRequest re = new audit.es7.org.elasticsearch.action.bulk.BulkRequest();
for (int i = 0; i \< bulkSize; i++) {
Product product = new Product();
Product = setBaseFields(Product, id);
IndexOperation\ updatedIndexOperation = new IndexOperation.Builder\<\>()
.index(index)
.id(userCreatedAuditEvent.getEventId().toString())
.document(product)
.build();
// Add the updated IndexOperation to the bulk request
bulkRequestBuilder.operations(op -\> op.index(updatedIndexOperation));
}
// Execute the bulk request
BulkResponse response = client.bulk(bulkRequestBuilder.build());
Error:
co.elastic.clients.elasticsearch.\_types.ElasticsearchException: [es/bulk] failed: [action\_request\_validation\_exception] Validation Failed: 1: type is missing;2: type is missing;3: type is missing;4: type is missing;5: type is missing;6: type is missing;7: type is missing;8: type is missing;9: type is missing;10: type is missing;
Could you please suggest some solution on fixing this issue. Thanks!

I think you need to upgrade the server if you want to use the new client.
And anyway you should upgrade to 7.17 or better 8.15.

You are not the same author as @Radha_G right?
Are you in the same team?
Anyway, could you share a small GitHub repo which reproduces your problem with everything updated to 8.15 as you mentioned?

As I said. You must upgrade the server if you want to use this client.

No. Please note that your version is too old and did not benefit from all the fixes (including security patches).
