You can use the update API to add new field and delete existing
fields. Basically you have your doc to update in ctx._source and you
can add new fields and delete fields with the supported language of
your choice. For example in maven ctx._source.foobar = 4 will add a
new foobar field. Hope this help

To be complete you can use the following syntax to delete an existing field:

"script" : "ctx._source.remove("foobar")"
