To index geojson data to elasticsearch using curl - elasticsearch

Question

I'd like to index a geojson data to elasticsearch using curl
The geojson data looks like this:
{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"name": "telco_new_development",
"crs": { "type": "name", "properties": { "name": "urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:1.3:CRS84" } },
"features": [

However, my curl is returns an error called The bulk request must be terminated by a newline [\\n]
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/x-ndjson' -XPOST 'localhost:9200/geo/building/_bulk?pretty' --data-binary #building.geojson
{
"error" : {
"root_cause" : [
{
"type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason" : "The bulk request must be terminated by a newline [\\n]"
}
],
"type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason" : "The bulk request must be terminated by a newline [\\n]"
},
"status" : 400
}
Any suggestion?

Answer 1

your format is not suitable for _bulk like that, as it's missing the structure it expects. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html goes into that
you need;
to update your json file to have something like { "index" : { "_index" : "INDEX-NAME-HERE" } } before each of the documents
each document also needs to be on a single line
each line needs a \n at the end of it so that the bulk API knows when the action/record ends
