	Notes:
	This function performs a bulk insert of `processed_items` into the database using the specified `collection_id`. The
	insert is performed synchronously and blocking, meaning that the function does not return until the insert has
	completed. The `mk_actions` function is called to generate a list of actions for the bulk insert. If `refresh` is set to
	True, the index is refreshed after the bulk insert. The function does not return any value.

The bulk methods set raise_on_error=False but then ignore the returned errors, making these methods unsafe to use in production environment. If you don't want to deal with the errors, let them raise so it's possible to handle it in the client code.
