Elasticsearch bulk index "mapper_parsing_exception"

I am trying to bulk index using jq, and having trouble.

I enter the following using the terminal (I'm using Ubuntu 16.04)

cat practice.json | jq -c '.[] | {"index": {"_index": "text", "_type": "text", "_id": "text"}}, .' | curl -XPOST localhost:9200/_bulk --data-binary @-

This is the error that I get:

{"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"failed to parse","caused_by":{"type":"not_x_content_exception","reason":"not_x_content_exception: Compressor detection can only be called on some xcontent bytes or compressed xcontent bytes"}}}}

Oddly, I was able to get similar code (I forgot to save what I did, but I think it is the same as this) to work. I couldn't find anyone with the same problem here or elsewhere. Any idea on how to fix this?

This sounds like an issue with the document sent to jq. ElasticSearch requires the outermost document to be a JSON object and not a JSON array or scalar value. Just make sure it is...
