   @mattwelke The javadoc[1] that is generated has some description and 
examples, though admittedly not as fully descriptive as it could be. I would 
welcome any additional examples or documentation added by others, and will keep 
in mind to add more examples when time permits!
   
   Do you have any specific questions or a use case you would like help 
determining how to best use this IO? I might suggest that we move the 
conversation to the user mailing list or slack[2] so that others could more 
easily benefit from our conversation 🙂

> Overhaul ElasticsearchIO#Write

>                 Key: BEAM-12093

> The current ElasticsearchIO#Write is great, but there are two related areas 
> which could be improved:
>  # Separation of concern
>  # Bulk API batch size optimization
>  
> Presently, the Write transform has 2 responsibilities which are coupled and 
> inseparable by users:
>  # Convert input documents into Bulk API entities, serializing based on user 
> settings (partial update, delete, upsert, etc)
>  # Batch the converted Bulk API entities together and interface with the 
> target ES cluster
>  
> Having these 2 roles tightly coupled means testing requires an available 
> Elasticsearch cluster, making unit testing almost impossible. Allowing access 
> to the serialized documents would make unit testing much easier for pipeline 
> developers, among numerous other benefits to having separation between 
> serialization and IO.
> Relatedly, the batching of entities when creating Bulk API payloads is 
> currently limited by the lesser of Beam Runner bundling semantics, and the 
> `ElasticsearchIO#Write#maxBatchSize` setting. This is understandable for 
> portability between runners, but it also means most Bulk payloads only have a 
> few (1-5) entities. By using Stateful Processing to better adhere to the 
> `ElasticsearchIO#Write#maxBatchSize` setting, we have been able to drop the 
> number of indexing requests in an Elasticsearch cluster by 50-100x. 
> Separating the role of document serialization and IO allows supporting 
> multiple IO techniques with minimal and understandable code.
