1、bulk语法

每一个操作要两个json串，语法如下：

{"action": {"metadata"}}
{"data"}

举例，比如你现在要创建一个文档，放bulk里面，看起来会是这样子的：

{"index": {"_index": "test_index", "_type", "test_type", "_id": "1"}}
{"test_field1": "test1", "test_field2": "test2"}

有哪些类型的操作可以执行呢？
（1）delete：删除一个文档，只要1个json串就可以了
（2）create：PUT /index/type/id/_create，强制创建
（3）index：普通的put操作，可以是创建文档，也可以是全量替换文档
（4）update：执行的partial update操作

POST /_bulk
{ "delete": { "_index": "test_index", "_type": "test_type", "_id": "3" }} 
{ "create": { "_index": "test_index", "_type": "test_type", "_id": "12" }}
{ "test_field":    "test12" }
{ "index":  { "_index": "test_index", "_type": "test_type", "_id": "2" }}
{ "test_field":    "replaced test2" }
{ "update": { "_index": "test_index", "_type": "test_type", "_id": "1", "_retry_on_conflict" : 3} }
{ "doc" : {"test_field2" : "bulk test1"} }

响应结果

{
  "took": 555,
  "errors": false,
  "items": [
    {
      "delete": {
        "found": false,
        "_index": "test_index",
        "_type": "test_type",
        "_id": "3",
        "_version": 1,
        "result": "not_found",
        "_shards": {
          "total": 2,
          "successful": 1,
          "failed": 0
        },
        "status": 404
      }
    },
    {
      "create": {
        "_index": "test_index",
        "_type": "test_type",
        "_id": "12",
        "_version": 1,
        "result": "created",
        "_shards": {
          "total": 2,
          "successful": 1,
          "failed": 0
        },
        "created": true,
        "status": 201
      }
    },
    {
      "index": {
        "_index": "test_index",
        "_type": "test_type",
        "_id": "2",
        "_version": 2,
        "result": "updated",
        "_shards": {
          "total": 2,
          "successful": 1,
          "failed": 0
        },
        "created": false,
        "status": 200
      }
    },
    {
      "update": {
        "_index": "test_index",
        "_type": "test_type",
        "_id": "1",
        "_version": 4,
        "result": "updated",
        "_shards": {
          "total": 2,
          "successful": 1,
          "failed": 0
        },
        "status": 200
      }
    }
  ]
}

bulk api对json的语法，有严格的要求，每个json串不能换行，只能放一行，同时一个json串和一个json串之间，必须有一个换行,否则：

{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "json_e_o_f_exception",
        "reason": "Unexpected end-of-input: expected close marker for Object (start marker at [Source: org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.ByteBufStreamInput@5a5932cd; line: 1, column: 1])\n at [Source: org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.ByteBufStreamInput@5a5932cd; line: 1, column: 3]"
      }
    ],
    "type": "json_e_o_f_exception",
    "reason": "Unexpected end-of-input: expected close marker for Object (start marker at [Source: org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.ByteBufStreamInput@5a5932cd; line: 1, column: 1])\n at [Source: org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.ByteBufStreamInput@5a5932cd; line: 1, column: 3]"
  },
  "status": 500
}

bulk操作中，任意一个操作失败，是不会影响其他的操作的，但是在返回结果里，会告诉你异常日志

变种：

可以指明index

POST /test_index/_bulk
{ "delete": { "_type": "test_type", "_id": "3" }} 
{ "create": { "_type": "test_type", "_id": "12" }}
{ "test_field":    "test12" }
{ "index":  { "_type": "test_type" }}
{ "test_field":    "auto-generate id test" }
{ "index":  { "_type": "test_type", "_id": "2" }}
{ "test_field":    "replaced test2" }
{ "update": { "_type": "test_type", "_id": "1", "_retry_on_conflict" : 3} }
{ "doc" : {"test_field2" : "bulk test1"} }

指明index/type

POST /test_index/test_type/_bulk
{ "delete": { "_id": "3" }} 
{ "create": { "_id": "12" }}
{ "test_field":    "test12" }
{ "index":  { }}
{ "test_field":    "auto-generate id test" }
{ "index":  { "_id": "2" }}
{ "test_field":    "replaced test2" }
{ "update": { "_id": "1", "_retry_on_conflict" : 3} }
{ "doc" : {"test_field2" : "bulk test1"} }

2、bulk size最佳大小

bulk request会加载到内存里，如果太大的话，性能反而会下降，因此需要反复尝试一个最佳的bulk size。一般从1000~5000条数据开始，尝试逐渐增加。另外，如果看大小的话，最好是在5 ~15MB之间。
