Examples

if (FALSE) {
(x <- connect())

if (!index_exists(x, 'plos')) {
  plosdat <- system.file("examples", "plos_data.json",
    package = "elastic")
  plosdat <- type_remover(plosdat)
  invisible(docs_bulk(x, plosdat))
}

# give a document id
z <- docs_create(x, index = 'plos', id = 1002,
  body = list(id = "12345", title = "New title"))
z
# and the document is there now
docs_get(x, index = 'plos', id = 1002)

# let Elasticsearch create the document id for you
z <- docs_create(x, index='plos', body=list(id="6789", title="Some title"))
z
# and the document is there now
docs_get(x, index='plos', id=z$`_id`)
