mCreate #

Creates multiple documents.

If a document identifier already exists, the creation fails for that document.

The number of documents that can be created by a single request is limited by the documentsWriteCount server configuration (see the Configuring Kuzzle guide).

- _id (optional): document identifier. If not provided, an unique identifier is automatically attributed to the new document
- body: document content

Response #

Returns an object containing 2 arrays: successes and errors

Each created document is an object of the successes array 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)

Each errored document is an object of the errors array with the following properties:

document: original document that caused the error
status: HTTP error status code
reason: human readable reason

If strict mode is enabled, will rather return an error if at least one document has not been created.
