ElasticSearch fcc tutorial
I am trying to go through the tutorial at
I am completely new to ElasticSearch. The tutorial connects a Django app to ElasticSearch
I haven’t finished the tut. I am stuck at the first attempt at indexing. The tutorial asks to run it from the Django shell
>>>from elasticsearchapp.search import *
>>>bulk_indexing()
It is raising a ValueError (copied in full below). The ValueError is:
You cannot perform API calls on the default index.
I am running on Windows with ElasticSearch running as a service and python 3.8.5
The bulk_indexing method looks like:
def bulk_indexing():
BlogPostIndex.init()
es = Elasticsearch()
# Hand BlogPost to bulk and define a generator for actions
bulk(client=es, actions=(b.indexing() for b in models.BlogPost.objects.all().iterator()))
And here is the entire Traceback
bulk_indexing()
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise ValueError(“You cannot perform API calls on the default index.”)
ValueError: You cannot perform API calls on the default index.
Any help is appreciated. For example, how can I choose or create an index other than the default index
