Does JEST support gzip for bulk operation?

Does JEST Java client lib for elasticsearch support gzip (compression) for huge bulk operations? I'm uploading thousands of documents in one go.

Solution

  • Yes, you need to do two things:

    1. set http.compression: true in your elasticsearch.yml configuration file and restart ES

    2. call setRequestCompressionEnabled(true) on your Jest client.
