Hi,

I'm doing update in elasticsearch document and the same time one rest api  
is calling for search results. Below is my code.

public String updateElasticsearchDocument(String index, String type,  
List indexID) {  
Client client = ESClientFactory.getInstance();  
UpdateResponse updateResponse = null;  
JSONObject jsonResponse = new JSONObject();  
JSONObject json =new JSONObject();  
int i=1;  
try {  
for(String id : indexID)  
{  
updateResponse = client.prepareUpdate(index, type, id)  
.setDoc(jsonBuilder()  
.startObject().field("view\_mode", "read")  
.endObject())  
.setDocAsUpsert(true)  
.setFields("\_source")  
.setTimeout("10000")  
.execute().actionGet();  
logger.info("updating the document for type= "+ updateResponse.getType()+  
" for id= "+ updateResponse.getId());

json.put("indexID"+i, updateResponse.getId());  
i++;  
}  
jsonResponse.put("updated\_index", json);  
} catch (ActionRequestValidationException e) {  
logger.warn(this.getClass().getName() + ":" + "updateDocument: "

- e.getMessage(), e);  
}  
catch (ElasticsearchException e) {  
logger.warn(this.getClass().getName() + ":" + "updateDocument: "
- e.getMessage(), e);  
e.printStackTrace();  
} catch (IOException e) {  
logger.warn(this.getClass().getName() + ":" + "updateDocument: "
- e.getMessage(), e);  
} catch (JSONException e) {  
// TODO Auto-generated catch block  
e.printStackTrace();  
}  
return jsonResponse.toString();  
}

_the search query is :_

POST /monitoring/quota-management/\_search

```
{
      "query": {"match": {
          "view_mode": "read"
       }}, 
    "sort": [
       {
          "_timestamp": {
             "order": "desc"
          }
       }
    ],
    "size": 10
}

```

Now, I have to wait for like 40-50 seconds to get the updated search  
result. This is affecting the production application.  
Please let me know what needs to be done here to minimizes the time taken.

Thanks,  
Subhadip

Hello Subhadip\* , \*

What exactly are you trying to achieve using this code.

updateResponse = client.prepareUpdate(index, type, id)  
.setDoc(jsonBuilder()  
.startObject().field("view\_mode", "read")  
.endObject())  
.setDocAsUpsert(true)  
.setFields("\_source")  
.setTimeout("10000")

I was wondering where the modification data is given.

Thanks  
Vineeth

Hi,

In this code I'm trying to update the field "view\_mode" value as "read".
