Get the pending cluster tasks

GET /_cluster/pending_tasks

Get information about cluster-level changes (such as create index, update mapping, allocate or fail shard) that have not yet taken effect.

NOTE: This API returns a list of any pending updates to the cluster state. These are distinct from the tasks reported by the task management API which include periodic tasks and tasks initiated by the user, such as node stats, search queries, or create index requests. However, if a user-initiated task such as a create index command causes a cluster state update, the activity of this task might be reported by both task api and pending cluster tasks API.

Query parameters

  • local boolean

    If true, the request retrieves information from the local node only. If false, information is retrieved from the master node.

  • Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

      • insert_order number Required

        The number that represents when the task has been inserted into the task queue.

      • priority string Required

        The priority of the pending task. The valid priorities in descending priority order are: IMMEDIATE > URGENT > HIGH > NORMAL > LOW > LANGUID.

      • source string Required

        A general description of the cluster task that may include a reason and origin.

      • A duration. Units can be nanos, micros, ms (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.

Bulk index or delete documents

PUT /_bulk

Perform multiple index, create, delete, and update actions in a single request. This reduces overhead and can greatly increase indexing speed.

If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:

  • To use the create action, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege. Data streams support only the create action.
  • To use the index action, you must have the create, index, or write index privilege.
  • To use the delete action, you must have the delete or write index privilege.
  • To use the update action, you must have the index or write index privilege.
  • To automatically create a data stream or index with a bulk API request, you must have the auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.
  • To make the result of a bulk operation visible to search using the refresh parameter, you must have the maintenance or manage index privilege.

Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.

The actions are specified in the request body using a newline delimited JSON (NDJSON) structure:

action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
....
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n

The index and create actions expect a source on the next line and have the same semantics as the op_type parameter in the standard index API. A create action fails if a document with the same ID already exists in the target An index action adds or replaces a document as necessary.

NOTE: Data streams support only the create action. To update or delete a document in a data stream, you must target the backing index containing the document.

An update action expects that the partial doc, upsert, and script and its options are specified on the next line.

A delete action does not expect a source on the next line and has the same semantics as the standard delete API.

NOTE: The final line of data must end with a newline character (\n). Each newline character may be preceded by a carriage return (\r). When sending NDJSON data to the _bulk endpoint, use a Content-Type header of application/json or application/x-ndjson. Because this format uses literal newline characters (\n) as delimiters, make sure that the JSON actions and sources are not pretty printed.

If you provide a target in the request path, it is used for any actions that don't explicitly specify an _index argument.

A note on the format: the idea here is to make processing as fast as possible. As some of the actions are redirected to other shards on other nodes, only action_meta_data is parsed on the receiving node side.

Client libraries using this protocol should try and strive to do something similar on the client side, and reduce buffering as much as possible.

There is no "correct" number of actions to perform in a single bulk request. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal size for your particular workload. Note that Elasticsearch limits the maximum size of a HTTP request to 100mb by default so clients must ensure that no request exceeds this size. It is not possible to index a single document that exceeds the size limit, so you must pre-process any such documents into smaller pieces before sending them to Elasticsearch. For instance, split documents into pages or chapters before indexing them, or store raw binary data in a system outside Elasticsearch and replace the raw data with a link to the external system in the documents that you send to Elasticsearch.

Client suppport for bulk requests

Some of the officially supported clients provide helpers to assist with bulk requests and reindexing:

  • Go: Check out esutil.BulkIndexer
  • Perl: Check out Search::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Bulk and Search::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Scroll
  • Python: Check out elasticsearch.helpers.*
  • JavaScript: Check out client.helpers.*
  • .NET: Check out BulkAllObservable
  • PHP: Check out bulk indexing.

Submitting bulk requests with cURL

If you're providing text file input to curl, you must use the --data-binary flag instead of plain -d. The latter doesn't preserve newlines. For example:

$ cat requests
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
$ curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/x-ndjson" -XPOST localhost:9200/_bulk --data-binary "@requests"; echo
{"took":7, "errors": false, "items":[{"index":{"_index":"test","_id":"1","_version":1,"result":"created","forced_refresh":false}}]}

Optimistic concurrency control

Each index and delete action within a bulk API call may include the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters in their respective action and meta data lines. The if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters control how operations are run, based on the last modification to existing documents. See Optimistic concurrency control for more details.

Versioning

Each bulk item can include the version value using the version field. It automatically follows the behavior of the index or delete operation based on the _version mapping. It also support the version_type.

Routing

Each bulk item can include the routing value using the routing field. It automatically follows the behavior of the index or delete operation based on the _routing mapping.

NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.

Wait for active shards

When making bulk calls, you can set the wait_for_active_shards parameter to require a minimum number of shard copies to be active before starting to process the bulk request.

Refresh

Control when the changes made by this request are visible to search.

NOTE: Only the shards that receive the bulk request will be affected by refresh. Imagine a _bulk?refresh=wait_for request with three documents in it that happen to be routed to different shards in an index with five shards. The request will only wait for those three shards to refresh. The other two shards that make up the index do not participate in the _bulk request at all.

Query parameters

  • If true, the response will include the ingest pipelines that were run for each index or create.

  • pipeline string

    The pipeline identifier to use to preprocess incoming documents. If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, setting the value to _none turns off the default ingest pipeline for this request. If a final pipeline is configured, it will always run regardless of the value of this parameter.

  • refresh string

    If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search. If wait_for, wait for a refresh to make this operation visible to search. If false, do nothing with refreshes. Valid values: true, false, wait_for.

    Values are true, false, or wait_for.

  • routing string

    A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.

  • _source boolean | string | array[string]

    Indicates whether to return the _source field (true or false) or contains a list of fields to return.

  • _source_excludes string | array[string]

    A comma-separated list of source fields to exclude from the response. You can also use this parameter to exclude fields from the subset specified in _source_includes query parameter. If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.

  • _source_includes string | array[string]

    A comma-separated list of source fields to include in the response. If this parameter is specified, only these source fields are returned. You can exclude fields from this subset using the _source_excludes query parameter. If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.

  • timeout string

    The period each action waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, and waiting for active shards. The default is 1m (one minute), which guarantees Elasticsearch waits for at least the timeout before failing. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.

  • wait_for_active_shards number | string

    The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation. Set to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1). The default is 1, which waits for each primary shard to be active.

  • If true, the request's actions must target an index alias.

  • If true, the request's actions must target a data stream (existing or to be created).

Executes several [fleet searches](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/fleet-search.html) with a single API request Technical preview

GET /_fleet/_fleet_msearch

The API follows the same structure as the multi search API. However, similar to the fleet search API, it supports the wait_for_checkpoints parameter.

Query parameters

  • If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.

  • If true, network roundtrips between the coordinating node and remote clusters are minimized for cross-cluster search requests.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Type of index that wildcard expressions can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams.

  • If true, concrete, expanded or aliased indices are ignored when frozen.

  • If true, missing or closed indices are not included in the response.

  • Maximum number of concurrent searches the multi search API can execute.

  • Maximum number of concurrent shard requests that each sub-search request executes per node.

  • Defines a threshold that enforces a pre-filter roundtrip to prefilter search shards based on query rewriting if the number of shards the search request expands to exceeds the threshold. This filter roundtrip can limit the number of shards significantly if for instance a shard can not match any documents based on its rewrite method i.e., if date filters are mandatory to match but the shard bounds and the query are disjoint.

  • Indicates whether global term and document frequencies should be used when scoring returned documents.

    Values are query_then_fetch or dfs_query_then_fetch.

  • If true, hits.total are returned as an integer in the response. Defaults to false, which returns an object.

  • typed_keys boolean

    Specifies whether aggregation and suggester names should be prefixed by their respective types in the response.

  • A comma separated list of checkpoints. When configured, the search API will only be executed on a shard after the relevant checkpoint has become visible for search. Defaults to an empty list which will cause Elasticsearch to immediately execute the search.

  • If true, returns partial results if there are shard request timeouts or shard failures. If false, returns an error with no partial results. Defaults to the configured cluster setting search.default_allow_partial_results which is true by default.
