I am using the _bulk api for indexing my data. I have a parent field for every document except the first document.
Normally my documents will have the following meta-data:
{"index":{"_id":"11111", "parent": "00000"}}
What should I specify in the parent field for the first document.
Should I leave the parent field blank?
{"index":{"_id":"00000", "parent": ""}}
Or should I not include the parent field at all?
{"index":{"_id":"00000"}}
