skip on import

[zoellner]

I am running into the issue of getting timeouts after a while (tens of thousands of operations successful, running for hours, then a timeout).
I'd like to restart the bulk import where it was left of before with an option to skip the first n entries. I think that should be an easy addition

I agree. Might also be useful to have a transform or filter on import. Skip seems important though...

For skip to work, probably only need a new skip variable, and some if/else logic around these lines:

elasticsearch-tools/lib/es-import-bulk.js

Lines 88 to 89 in a65fab8

	currentCount++;
	currentBatch += line + '\n';
