Bulk Load and Verify
with Elasticsearch
Submit a bulk NDJSON payload and confirm the documents actually landed.
- Read cluster health before a volume write, so a red cluster stops the load rather than absorbing a partial ingest.
- Submit the NDJSON payload. A 200 here only means the batch was processed, not that every item succeeded, so the errors flag is captured as an output for the caller to assert on.
- Count the documents now present in the index with a match_all query, giving an independent confirmation that the bulk load landed.
- Read the cat indices view with verbose headers for a human-readable summary of the index health, document count, and store size after the load.
What you'll need to have ready
- index: The index the bulk payload targets, used for verification.
- ndjson: The newline-delimited bulk body, alternating action and source lines, terminated by a trailing newline.
