Hi, I want to upsert a document and at the same time reset it's TTL. I.e. To do the upsert I use \_update with doc\_as\_update true and to update the ttl I use \_update with script and ctx.\_ttl. It seems I can't do both of these at the same time though. Does this mean I have to do one of: 1. Two queries, one to upsert, the other to set ttl 2. Write a script that upserts the doc from a parameter and updates the ttl How would I go about doing 2. or do scripts only work on existing documents? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
