Say I have documents stored like below.
document 1
{
id : '1',
title : "This is a test document1",
list : ["value1" , "value2"],
...
}
document 2
{
id : '2',
title : "This is a test document2",
valueList : ["value1" , "value2"],
...
}
I need to add some more elements to the valueList in the documents with a list of document ids using bulk api. The resulting should look like
document 1
{
id : '1',
title : "This is a test document1",
list : ["value1" , "value2", "value3"],
...
}
document 2
{
id : '2',
title : "This is a test document2",
valueList : ["value1" , "value2" , "value3"],
...
}
What can I do to achieve this? I tried using the scripts but it only updates a single document.
Sorry am really new to elastic search. I could even be stupid on this question. Please forgive and make me clear with this question.
See Updating Document. It should be straightforward. You need to use
_update
and just to give you an idea, even though the documentation is nearly perfect, it could look like this:This will update
document1
.In case of bulk updates you should read Batch Processing and have a look at the Bulk API.
From the docs:
Please note that you can just use
_update
for Partial Updates.
