Showing Progress During Populate or Rebuild Commands

[keehun]

When rebuilding/populating a large database with many nested fields, it can take 8-12 hours for the full rebuild. It would be great to know the progress as it goes.

I followed the code in django-elasticsearch-dsl all the way through the elasticsearch PIP package, and adding such a counter/progress printout doesn't seem straightforward, but I thought I'd report this feature request anyways.

Has anyone tried to add such a counter/progress meter?

Yes, it's possible to check how many records have been rebuilt in Kibana, but django-elasticsearch-dsl uploads documents in batches of 500, and each 500-document batch takes a long time. It would be great to know at a per-document level where the rebuild/populate progress is at.

I guess you can just override the management command and use python package such as (https://pypi.org/project/pqdm/)
