Bulk Model Management

Implement an API endpoint to submit multiple entity model management operations in bulk, borrowing the functionality for bulk operations introduced in #50. This will enable a more efficient handling of multiple entity model management operations. One envisioned implementation is an entity model management user interface that provides checkboxes to delete multiple models in one request.

Proposed syntax

POST /_zentity/models/_bulk[?PARAMS]
{ PARAMS }
{ PAYLOAD }
...

POST /_zentity/models/ENTITY_TYPE/_bulk[?PARAMS]
{ PARAMS }
{ PAYLOAD }
...

Accepted operations

The bulk endpoint would support operations that create, update, or delete entity models. Unlike the implementation in #50, this will require a field in PARAMS that indicates which action is to be executed. See the Elasticsearch Bulk API implementation for reference, which requires this convention, too.

Feeling good! Both bulk features work well, and I took care of some housekeeping that needed to happen. New documentation is nearly done. I might even publish the release tonight.

Yeah, I don’t think we need to do anything necessarily, but just interesting to note. Summing up, I agree with all your points and think the current interface is great 🙂 What’s your feeling on the 1.8.0 release?
