For this to work we would have to introduce an index action type to `Meta`. Ok. I.e. it’s not available as of now - need to be implemented in libbeat first, right? Not a big deal, I guess. I can always delete + put-if-absent instead. I don’t need it to use often anyway. > [@steffens](#): > > But always using `index` can create additional indexing workload in presence of errors. Understood. Thanks a lot for clarifications! ---
