index = client.create_index('books') # If your index does not exist
index = client.get_index('books') # If you already created your index
documents = [
{ 'book_id': 123, 'title': 'Pride and Prejudice' },
{ 'book_id': 456, 'title': 'Le Petit Prince' },
{ 'book_id': 1, 'title': 'Alice In Wonderland' },
