You are using the binary stream protocol of ES in the writeTo() method which is not appropriate for writing to files.
Once you added requests to a bulk request, you can not get your content back as JSON. A better approach is to use an XContentBuilder with an OutputStream, and add the content to it, independent of BulkRequestBuilder.
