# Bulk
|
|
Introduced 1.0
|
|
{: .label .label-purple }
|
|
|
|
The bulk operation lets you add, update, or delete many documents in a single request. Compared to individual OpenSearch indexing requests, the bulk operation has significant performance benefits. Whenever practical, we recommend batching indexing operations into bulk requests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
POST _bulk
|
|
{ "delete": { "_index": "movies", "_id": "tt2229499" } }
|
|
{ "index": { "_index": "movies", "_id": "tt1979320" } }
|
|
{ "title": "Rush", "year": 2013 }
|
|
{ "create": { "_index": "movies", "_id": "tt1392214" } }
|
|
{ "title": "Prisoners", "year": 2013 }
|
|
{ "update": { "_index": "movies", "_id": "tt0816711" } }
|
|
{ "doc" : { "title": "World War Z" } }
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Path and HTTP methods
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST _bulk
|
|
POST <index>/_bulk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Specifying the index in the path means you don't need to include it in the [request body]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/document-apis/bulk/#request-body).
|
|
|
|
OpenSearch also accepts PUT requests to the `_bulk` path, but we highly recommend using POST. The accepted usage of PUT---adding or replacing a single resource at a given path---doesn't make sense for bulk requests.

|
## URL parameters
|
|
|
|
All bulk URL parameters are optional.
|
|
|
|
Parameter | Type | Description
|
|
:--- | :--- | :---
|
|
pipeline | String | The pipeline ID for preprocessing documents.
|
|
refresh | Enum | Whether to refresh the affected shards after performing the indexing operations. Default is `false`. `true` makes the changes show up in search results immediately, but hurts cluster performance. `wait_for` waits for a refresh. Requests take longer to return, but cluster performance doesn't suffer.
|
|
require_alias | Boolean | Set to `true` to require that all actions target an index alias rather than an index. Default is `false`.
|
|
routing | String | Routes the request to the specified shard.
|
|
timeout | Time | How long to wait for the request to return. Default `1m`.
|
|
type | String | (Deprecated) The default document type for documents that don't specify a type. Default is `_doc`. We highly recommend ignoring this parameter and using a type of `_doc` for all indices.
|
|
wait_for_active_shards | String | Specifies the number of active shards that must be available before OpenSearch processes the bulk request. Default is 1 (only the primary shard). Set to `all` or a positive integer. Values greater than 1 require replicas. For example, if you specify a value of 3, the index must have two replicas distributed across two additional nodes for the request to succeed.
|
|
{% comment %}_source | List | asdf
|
|
_source_excludes | list | asdf
|
|
_source_includes | list | asdf{% endcomment %}
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Request body
|
|
|
|
The bulk request body follows this pattern:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Action and metadata\n
|
|
Optional document\n
|
|
Action and metadata\n
|
|
Optional document\n
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The optional JSON document doesn't need to be minified---spaces are fine---but it does need to be on a single line. OpenSearch uses newline characters to parse bulk requests and requires that the request body end with a newline character.
|
|
|
|
All actions support the same metadata: `_index`, `_id`, and `_require_alias`. If you don't provide an ID, OpenSearch generates one automatically, which can make it challenging to update the document at a later time.
|
|
|
|
- Create
|
|
|
|
Creates a document if it doesn't already exist and returns an error otherwise. The next line must include a JSON document.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "create": { "_index": "movies", "_id": "tt1392214" } }
|
|
{ "title": "Prisoners", "year": 2013 }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Delete
|
|
|
|
This action deletes a document if it exists. If the document doesn't exist, OpenSearch doesn't return an error, but instead returns `not_found` under `result`. Delete actions don't require documents on the next line.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "delete": { "_index": "movies", "_id": "tt2229499" } }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Index
|
|
|
|
Index actions create a document if it doesn't yet exist and replace the document if it already exists. The next line must include a JSON document.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "index": { "_index": "movies", "_id": "tt1979320" } }
|
|
{ "title": "Rush", "year": 2013}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Update
|
|
|
|
This action updates existing documents and returns an error if the document doesn't exist. The next line must include a full or partial JSON document, depending on how much of the document you want to update.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "update": { "_index": "movies", "_id": "tt0816711" } }
|
|
{ "doc" : { "title": "World War Z" } }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It can also include a script or upsert for more complex document updates.
|
|
|
|
- Script
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "update": { "_index": "movies", "_id": "tt0816711" } }
|
|
{ "script" : { "source": "ctx._source.title = \"World War Z\"" } }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Upsert
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "update": { "_index": "movies", "_id": "tt0816711" } }
|
|
{ "doc" : { "title": "World War Z" }, "doc_as_upsert": true }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Response
|
|
|
|
In the response, pay particular attention to the top-level `errors` boolean. If true, you can iterate over the individual actions for more detailed information.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|

|
|

|
