How to do automation of “index,type,id” before actual json data in elastic search

[gvinaycse]

Hello,
I have a doubt at "index,type,id" here. In the video, you had a data and converted in json and then applied "index,type,id" above of each&every data. How did you do it? I checked the GitHub you shared.

Ex:{ "index" : { "_index" : "pokedex", "_type" : "pokemon", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "ndex": 1, "name": "Bulbasaur" }
{ "index" : { "_index" : "pokedex", "_type" : "pokemon", "_id" : "2" } }
{ "ndex": 2, "name": "Ivysaur" }
{ "index" : { "_index" : "pokedex", "_type" : "pokemon", "_id" : "3" } }
{ "ndex": 3, "name": "Venusaur"}

How did u take or automated this format like { "index" : { "_index" : "pokedex", "_type" : "pokemon", "_id" : "1" } }, here "id" will change of each and every data right?

Thanks advance.

I am going to paste the same comment I put on YouTube here:

Thanks for your comment! I'm sorry I'm just getting to it now. From what I recall, when you are doing a regular index PUT you would do something like so: PUT /pokedex/pokemon/1 and that 1 would be the ID you chose for that document. In our system we are using numbers but any unique value would work, such as /pokedex/pokemon/gen1_1. (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/2.x/index-doc.html). If you don't provide an ID, it creates one for you

The difference is for the bulk API, we have to format our data so the Bulk API can understand it. You can see the ID being provided in the Bulk API Data here about halfway down the page: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/2.x/bulk.html

I hope this helps! Good luck!
