Add field to all documents of an index

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi I need to add a new field (with a default) to all documents already
indexed.

I guess bulk update will do it?

Hello John ,

Update by query plugin would be a good choice -

Just set a match_all query.

Bulk API with updates to all the documents should also work.

Thanks
