Hi,  
i have a jdbc input with user data.

So i would like find all documents in Elasticsearch index with the user\_id of current input.  
Then i would like update field values of all the documents wich find with the user\_id.

For Example:

Row1 : {user\_id: 1, user\_name: 'xyz', location: 'xyz'}  
-\> Find all documents with user\_id 1  
-\> Update location Field to 'xyz'  
Row2...

How can i combine the jdbc input with the elastic input?
