Indexed document as string try as object

[AColmant]

Hello,

I try to push some json data as in this exemple :

string data = "{ \"source\":\"my_source\", \"country\":\"my_country\", \"company\":\"my_company\" }";

_client.Index(data, s => s
    .Index("my_index")
    .Type("my_type")
    .Id(Guid.NewGuid().ToString()));
}

Currently (with the master branch 2.0), this does not work for me.
When running, I could notice that the constructor Elasticsearch.Net.PostData(T item) is called instead of (in my humble opinion) Elasticsearch.Net.PostData(string item). So the execution try to serialize a string...

I found a unit test only related with a document as object but not with byte[], string, IEnumerable<string> item, IEnumerable<object> item to confirm this.

NB : Without s.id() the request sent is not POST (and is therefore considered as false by ElasticSearch) but perhaps this is result of the unexpected execution described above.

Are you on the latest alpha2 the Id bug should have been fixed as per: #1736

I suspect _client is a NestClient which does not support posting strings directly. You need to use the LowLevel client which you can get to using .Raw

_client.Raw.Index<IndexResponse>("index", "type", "{}");

Oh! Yes, I tried Id in alpha1 and I haven't try again in alpha2. My mistake, thank you.

Ok, I just test your advice, they seem to work. I'm just sorry for not having found documentation related to this. But it's really good job, thank you guys for all.
