Bulk index operations

Sends multiple operatons like inserts, updates, replaces or deletes. For each operation it's object must have same format as in their dedicated method. The method expects a raw string as the batch in NDJSON. Each operation object needs to be serialized to JSON and separated by endline (\n).

An example of raw input:

  {"insert": {"table" : "products", "id" : 3, "doc" : {"title" : "Crossbody Bag with Tassel", "price" : 19.85}}}\n
  {"insert": {"table" : "products", "id" : 4, "doc" : {"title" : "microfiber sheet set", "price" : 19.99}}}\n
  {"insert": {"table" : "products", "id" : 5, "doc" : {"title" : "CPet Hair Remover Glove", "price" : 7.99}}}

Responds with an object telling whenever any errors occured and an array with status for each operation:

{'items':[{'update':{'table':'products','_id':1,'result':'updated'}},{'update':{'table':'products','_id':2,'result':'updated'}}],'errors':false}

Example

var Manticoresearch = require('manticoresearch');

var indexApi = new Manticoresearch.IndexApi();
async function(){
    let docs = [ 
            {"insert": {"table" : "products", "id" : 3, "doc" : {"title" : "Crossbody Bag with Tassel", "price" : 19.85}}},
