Hi Otis,
No, Elasticsearch doesn't expose field updates.
Field updates are only supported by numeric doc values, which are
single-valued. In Elasticsearch, all fields may be multi-valued so we
actually use binary doc values in order to store numeric fields[1].
Moreover, field updates may not scale well when applied to few documents of
a very large segment since values for all documents need to be rewritten.
For instance, if you have a large segment that has 100MB of numeric doc
values and want to update the value for a single document, you need to
rewrite the 100MB of doc values anyway. So in practice it may be a better
trade-off to use Elasticsearch's parent/child support with the static data
in the parent document and frequently changing data in the child documents.
We may use field updates in the future, eg. if we can make sure that there
is a big enough batch of updates so that rewriting all values is less
expensive that doing a delete-then-insert for the whole document, but we
don't have concrete plans at this point.
[1] Numeric field mappers should encode doc values in binary doc values fields (?) · Issue #3993 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub

Hi,
Does ES offer support for field updates (vs. having to do a complete doc
delete + add), say via [LUCENE-5189] Numeric DocValues Updates - ASF JIRA ?
Thanks,
Otis
