Hi, My use case is the following: I have to perform a bulk update where, either the document exists, and I need to execute a script to update a (counter) field of this document, or it doesn't, and I just create the document. As I understand the update API, I'll need to specify both doc\_as\_upsert with the full doc, and script, whith a script to update the counter. Is it possible to do so ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
