How can I create Bulk CRUD Operations request in Elasticsearch version 8 using JAVA APIs?

Question

We wanted to create IndexRequest, DeleteRequest, UpdateRequest and BulkRequest in Elasticsearch version 8 using JAVA APIs. But I don't see any java documentation in elasticsearch v8 official website. Previously in elasticsearch version 7, we used below code in order to perform operations.

IndexRequest indexRequest = Requests.indexRequest(index).id(key).source(source);


BulkRequest bulkRequest = Requests.bulkRequest();
bulkRequest.add(indexRequest);

Also following Elasticsearch Java API Client [8.1] , but no luck.

Problem arises when we try to do Requests.indexRequest(), this Request class is not available in version 8.

So, Is it possible to create similar request in ES version 8 also?

Update 1:-

My point here is that I need to keep a list of request operation which maybe arbitrary ( maybe 1st five are inserts, next 2 are update and next 2 are delete requests and at the end 1 insert operation ). And that list needed to be flushed via Bulk maintaining the type of request received. I am using BulkRequest.Builder bulkRequestBuilder = new BulkRequest.Builder();

But my issue is with bulk update. I am unable to find any update API for bulkrequest for elasticsearch version 8.

For Insert:-

bulkRequestBuilder.operations(op -> op.index(idx -> idx.index(index).id(key).document(source)));

For Delete:-

bulkRequestBuilder.operations(op -> op.delete(d -> d.index(index).id(key)));

And flushing the bulk operation:-

BulkResponse bulkResponse = client.bulk(bulkRequestBuilder.build());

I am looking for something similar to above mentioned insert and delete operation.

Like, bulkRequestBuilder.operations(op->op.update(u->u.index(index).id(key)....))

Answer 1

You can use the refer the following code which I used to bulk index.

String PRODUCT_INDEX="product"
final BulkResponse bulkResponse = esUtil.getESClient().bulk(builder -> {
                for (Product product : products) {
                    builder.index(PRODUCT_INDEX)
                            .operations(ob -> {
                                ob.index(ib -> ib.document(product).pipeline("score").id(product.getId())));
                                return ob;
                            });
                }
                return builder;
            });

You can use Fluent DSL like below as mentioned here:

List<Product> products = fetchProducts();

BulkRequest.Builder br = new BulkRequest.Builder();

for (Product product : products) {
    br.operations(op -> op           
        .index(idx -> idx            
            .index("products")       
            .id(product.getSku())
            .document(product)
        )
    );
}

BulkResponse result = esClient.bulk(br.build());

You can use Classic Builder like below (Not Recommndate):

IndexRequest.Builder<Product> indexReqBuilder = new IndexRequest.Builder<>();
indexReqBuilder.index("product");
indexReqBuilder.id("id");
indexReqBuilder.document(product);
        
List<BulkOperation> list = new ArrayList<BulkOperation>();
list.add(indexReqBuilder);
        
BulkRequest.Builder br = new BulkRequest.Builder();
br.index("");
br.operations(list);
        
client.bulk(br.build());

Update Request:

As mentioned here in document, UpdateRequest class support TDocument and TPartialDocument as parameter. when you want to index document as parial document (means only update) then you can use TPartialDocument and when you want to index document as upsert then you can use TDocument. you can pass Void class for other parameter.

You can check this discussion as well which give you some understanding.

client.update(b -> b
                .index("")
                .id("")
                .doc(product),
                Product.class
            );

client.update(new UpdateRequest.Builder<Void, Product>()
                .index("product")
                .id("")
                .doc(product)
                .build(),
                Void.class
            );

Bulk Update request:

BulkRequest.Builder br = new BulkRequest.Builder();
for (Product product : products) {
    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
    String json = mapper.writeValueAsString(product);
    br.operations(op -> op
                    .update(idx -> idx.index("products").id("").withJson(new StringReader(json))));
        }
