I'm trying to use the bulk inset api for elastic search. I would like to insert documents with auto generated IDs but I'm just getting errors no matter what i try.

Here are a few example efforts:

http://localhost:9200/_bulk

{"create": {"_index": "test", "_type": "_doc"} }

{"user": "kimchy", "post_date": "2002-11-15T14:12:12", "message": "trying out Elasticsearch"}

Both put and post give the error:

{

  "error": {

    "root_cause": [

      {

        "type": "action_request_validation_exception",

        "reason": "Validation Failed: 1: an id must be provided if version type or value are set;"

      }

    ],

    "type": "action_request_validation_exception",

    "reason": "Validation Failed: 1: an id must be provided if version type or value are set;"

  },

  "status": 400

}

If i remove _type _doc i get the following error:

{

  "error": {

    "root_cause": [

      {

        "type": "action_request_validation_exception",

        "reason": "Validation Failed: 1: type is missing;2: an id is required for a CREATE operation;3: an id must be provided if version type or value are set;"

      }

    ],

    "type": "action_request_validation_exception",

    "reason": "Validation Failed: 1: type is missing;2: an id is required for a CREATE operation;3: an id must be provided if version type or value are set;"

  },

  "status": 400

}    

I'm using elastic search 6.4.2 via docker

~ docker images

REPOSITORY       TAG       IMAGE ID      CREATED      SIZE

elasticsearch    6.4.2     e47ebd7ec3ee  7 weeks ago  828MB

Currently sending requests via postman

If you want automatic id creation simply use index instead of create:

change this

    v

{"index": {"_index": "test", "_type": "_doc"} }

{"user": "kimchy", "post_date": "2002-11-15T14:12:12", "message": "trying out Elasticsearch"}
