Body properties #

documents: an array of object. Each object describes a document to create, by exposing the following properties:
- _id (optional): document identifier. If not provided, an unique identifier is automatically attributed to the new document
- body: document content

Response #

Returns a hits array, containing the list of created documents, in the same order than the one provided in the query.

Each created document is an object with the following properties:

_id: created document unique identifier
_source: document content
_version: version of the created document (should be 1)
created: a boolean telling whether a document is created (should be true)

If one or more document changes fail, the response status is set to 206, and the error object contain a partial error error.
