I was using mapper-attachments and index PDF documents using JAVA bulk load API. Now switching to Ingest-attachment. All I see from elasticsearch website is this example:

PUT my\_index/my\_type/my\_id?pipeline=attachment  
{  
"data": "e1xydGYxXGFuc2kNCkxvcmVtIGlwc3VtIGRvbG9yIHNpdCBhbWV0DQpccGFyIH0="  
}

I believe this should be done using the UpdateRequest(my-index, my-type, my-id) but not sure how to represent the portion (?pipeline=attachment) in this request?

Thanks,  
Ada

Have a look at IndexRequest instead. It's not supported for UpdateRequest.  
BulkRequest also supports it.
