ImportAsync #

Creates, updates or deletes large amounts of documents as fast as possible.

This route is faster than the document:m* routes family (e.g. document:mCreate), but no real-time notifications will be generated, even if some of the documents in the import match subscription filters.

Arguments #

public async Task<JObject> ImportAsync(
    string index,
    string collection,
    JArray bulkData);

Argument	Type	Description
`index`	string	Index name
`collection`	string	Collection name
`bulkData`	JArray	Bulk operations to perform, following ElasticSearch Bulk API

bulkData #

This API takes a JSON array containing a list of objects working in pairs. In each pair, the first object specifies the action to perform (the most common is create) and the second specifies the document itself, like in the example below:

[
  // Action object
  { "create": { "_id": "id" } },
  // Document object
  { "myField": "myValue", "myOtherField": "myOtherValue" },

  // Another action object
  { "create": { "_id": "another-id" } },
  // Another document object
  { "myField": "anotherValue", "myOtherField": "yetAnotherValue" }
];

Possible actions are create, index, update, delete.
