Bulk API upload deletes previous index

[pulkitsinghal]

I setup an empty index with 5 shards and 2 replicas and then ran the bulk upload method using node-elasticsearch-client, this resulted in the index being deleted and recreated with a 1shard/1replica configuration!

Is this a default behavior in node-elasticsearch-client code? If so, then how can I get around it?

Anything that i run through the following code has this effect:

getClient(args).bulk(commands, {})
.on('...)
.exec();
