Import #

Create, update or delete large amount 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.

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' }
];

You cannot specify either the _index or the _type options with a bulk import.
You have to specify the index/collection in the request.

Possible actions are create, index, update, delete.
