Body properties #

documents: an array of object. Each object describes a document to create or replace, by exposing the following properties:
- _id: document unique identifier
- body: document content

Response #

Returns an object containing 2 arrays: successes and errors

Each created or replaced document is an object of the successes array with the following properties:

_id: document unique identifier
_source: document content
_version: version of the 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/replaced.
