Create or Update a document

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I'm currently using a 2.4 ES index, and I have to update or add documents everyday. Currently, the index is deleted and remade everyday and I think that's not the best choice here ...

So is there a function which could help me here ? All my documents have a specific ID (different from the one givent by ES), and I would like to create a document if the corresponding ID doesn't exist yet or update the document.

PS: I'm using ES in a Python project, so I'm currently using the ES python package.

Thanks,
Robin
