Description

In the event the overall call "succeeds" but a FlowFile within the batch fails (leading to the error handling here[1]), the error handling doesn't properly pull out the error reason. An example of such error in ES 6:

{
"took": 0,
"ingest_took": 0,
"errors": true,
"items": [
{
"index": {
"_index": "theIndex",
"_type": "theType",
"_id": null,
"status": 400,
"error":

Unknown macro: { "type"}

}
}
]

The problem is the extra nesting of "index" which is not accounted for.
