wrong field name exception isn't being reported in BulkIndexer

[oryband]

Let's say I have a mapping with a single field of type long

{"my-index": {
  "mappings": {
    "my-type": {
      "properties": {
        "field-1": {
          "type": "long"}}}}}}

If I try to index a document where field-1's value is a non-number string i.e. "hello" (can't be converted to a long), I will get an exception. This isn't reported to the error channel and should be.

any progress on this?

Hi @oryband, I have a full time job so the time I can spend on this project has limitations. Things that would make it easier for me to fix this would be a test case, or if you are feelin' it, you could attempt the fix yourself. I can't give you an ETA at the moment, I'm sorry.

I've tracked down where the fix should be: https://github.com/mattbaird/elastigo/blob/09363f92cd44e47b5034719cdef78da73190d847/lib/corebulk.go#L333

Items is an objects of elasticsearch methods (create, index, etc.), where each method is a list of objects, where each of these has an error field. These should be reported to the standard error channel or some other designated channel.

See the official docs for more info: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/master/bulk.html#CO16-3

Anybody care to help?
