does logstash's elasticsearch output plugin retry individual bulk errors?

Question

context: logstash elasticsearch output plugin.

When an individual action in a bulk request fails, will it be retried in a following bulk request? (or the individual request is lost?)

documentation on this is not very clear in my opinion.

Answer 1

It looks like plugin parses the response and processes each action result separately - Plugin code

So the following retry police works for an individual action - Plugin retry policy

Example of the bad response:

{
   "took": 3,
   "errors": true, 
   "items": [
      {  "create": {
            "_index":   "website",
            "_type":    "blog",
            "_id":      "123",
            "status":   409, 
            "error":    "DocumentAlreadyExistsException 
                        [[website][4] [blog][123]:
                        document already exists]"
      }},
      {  "index": {
            "_index":   "website",
            "_type":    "blog",
            "_id":      "123",
            "_version": 5,
            "status":   200 
      }}
   ]
}
