Now you can index a document that contains an attachment. The document should include a data field that holds the file content encoded in Base64. In this example, the document is an RTF file containing the sentence "This is the content of an RTF file":

PUT my_index/_doc/my_id?pipeline=attachment
{
  "data": "e1xydGYxXGFuc2kKVGhpcyBpcyB0aGUgY29udGVudCBvZiBhIFJURiBmaWxlClxwYXIgfQ=="
}
