Question

Is there any way to import a JSON file (contains 100 documents) in elasticsearch server? I want to import a big json file into es-server..

Answer 1

You should use Bulk API. Note that you will need to add a header line before each json document.

$ cat requests
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
$ curl -s -XPOST localhost:9200/_bulk --data-binary @requests; echo
{"took":7,"items":[{"create":{"_index":"test","_type":"type1","_id":"1","_version":1,"ok":true}}]}
