NodeJs-ElasticSearch Bulk API Error Handling

Question

I can’t find the documentation of what will happen if the Elastic Bulk API fails with one or more actions. For example, for the next query, suppose that there is already a document with the identifier "3", so "create" should be unsuccessful, does this not perform all other actions ?

{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
{ "delete" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "2" } }
{ "create" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "3" } }
{ "field1" : "value3" }
{ "update" : {"_id" : "1", "_type" : "type1", "_index" : "index1"} }
{ "doc" : {"field2" : "value2"} }

• I am using nodejs elastic module.

No failures in one action affect others.

From the documentation for elasticsearch bulk api:

JSON . .

elasticsearch status , , ,

:

    client.bulk({
      body: [
        // action description
        { index:  { _index: 'test', _type: 'test', _id: 1 } },
         // the document to index
        { title: 'foo' },
        // action description
        { update: { _index: 'test', _type: 'test', _id: 332 } },
        // the document to update
        { doc: { title: 'foo' } },
        // action description
        { delete: { _index: 'test', _type: 'test', _id: 33 } },
        // no document needed for this delete
      ]
    }, function (err, resp) {
        if(resp.errors) {
           console.log(JSON.stringify(resp, null, '\t'));
        }
    });
