Bulk API
editBulk API
editThe bulk API allows one to index and delete several documents in a single request. Here is a sample usage:
import static org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentFactory.*;
BulkRequestBuilder bulkRequest = client.prepareBulk();
// either use client#prepare, or use Requests# to directly build index/delete requests
bulkRequest.add(client.prepareIndex("twitter", "_doc", "1")
.setSource(jsonBuilder()
.startObject()
.field("user", "kimchy")
.field("postDate", new Date())
.field("message", "trying out Elasticsearch")
.endObject()
)
);
bulkRequest.add(client.prepareIndex("twitter", "_doc", "2")
.setSource(jsonBuilder()
.startObject()
.field("user", "kimchy")
.field("postDate", new Date())
.field("message", "another post")
.endObject()
)
);
BulkResponse bulkResponse = bulkRequest.get();
if (bulkResponse.hasFailures()) {
// process failures by iterating through each bulk response item
}
