Elasticsearch "no requests added" Bulk API Error

Trying to get Bulk Update to work on ES 1.0.1.

I am within Postman posting the following:

URL POST or PUT to http://localhost:9200/_bulk

Request Body:

{ "update" : { "_index" : "test_people", "_type" : "person", "_id" : "1" }} \n
{ "doc" : { "name":"hi", "age":100 }} \n

I have tried it with and without the \n. I always get

{
    "error": "ActionRequestValidationException[Validation Failed: 1: no requests added;]",
    "status": 500
}

It also does the same thing on a create using the data:

{
  "create": {
    "_index": "test_people",
    "_type": "person",
    "_id": "1"
  }
}
{
  "name": "hi",
  "age": 100
}

Update

I have tried this on a Mac, PC, and Linux and I am continually getting the same error.

Even though i had \n on the last line I literally HAD to have a full carriage return after my last json line.

The following worked:

{ "update" : { "_index" : "test_people", "_type" : "person", "_id" : "1" }} \n
{ "doc" : { "name":"hi", "age":100 }}
 

So there needs to be an empty line below the "doc" line.

True that one blank new line , after document row does the trick.

If you're using cURL, you must have a blank line at the end of your bulk items and you must use --data-binary (instead of plain -d). For example, suppose you have a file called bulk that has:

{ "index" : { "_id" : 1 } }
{ "accounts" : ["hillary", "sidney"]}
{ "index" : { "_id" : 2 } }
{ "accounts" : ["hillary", "donald"]}
{ "index" : { "_id" : 3 } }
{ "accounts" : ["vladimir", "donald"]}

Ensure the file is terminated by a blank line, then post with cURL:

curl -i -XPOST -H'content-type: application/json' 'localhost:9200/emails/message/_bulk?refresh&pretty' --data-binary @bulk
