Hi all,

Is it possible to submit updates via the Bulk UDP service?

e.g.

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/test/type1/1/\_update' -d '{  
"script" : "ctx.\_source.tags.contains(tag) ? ctx.op = "delete" :  
ctx.op = "none"",  
"params" : {  
"tag" : "blue"  
}  
}'

Regards,  
Steve.

It should work.

[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/bulk-udp/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/bulk-udp/)

$ cat bulk.txt  
{ "update" : { "\_index" : "test", "\_type" : "type1", "\_id" : "1" } }  
{ "script" : "ctx.\_source.tags.contains(tag) ? ctx.op = "delete" : ctx.op =  
"none"", "params" : {"tag" : "blue" }

$ cat bulk.txt | nc -w 0 -u localhost 9700
