title: import csv into elasticsearch
body: <p>I'm doing "elastic search getting started" tutorial. Unfortunatelly this tutorial doesn't cover first step which is importing <code>csv</code> database into elasticsearch.</p>
  
  <p>I googled to find solution but it doesn't work unfortunatelly. Here is what I want to achieve and what I have:</p>
  
  <p>I have a file with data which I want to import (simplified)</p>
  
  <pre><code>id,title
  10,Homer's Night Out
  12,Krusty Gets Busted
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to import it using <code>logstash</code>. After research over the internet I end up with following config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>input {
      file {
          path =&gt; ["simpsons_episodes.csv"]
          start_position =&gt; "beginning"
      }
  }
  
  filter {
      csv {
          columns =&gt; [
              "id",
              "title"
          ]
      }
  }
  
  output {
      stdout { codec =&gt; rubydebug }
      elasticsearch {
          action =&gt; "index"
          hosts =&gt; ["127.0.0.1:9200"]
          index =&gt; "simpsons"
          document_type =&gt; "episode"
          workers =&gt; 1
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have a trouble with specifying document type so once data is imported and I navigate to <a href="http://localhost:9200/simpsons/episode/10" rel="noreferrer">http://localhost:9200/simpsons/episode/10</a> I expect to see result with episode 10.</p>
