I have a few different indicies that have logs in them that were digested using Logstash.

The filter in my config looks like this:

```auto
filter {
  csv {
    autodetect_column_names => false
    columns => ["uid", "ip"]
    separator => ":"
    target => "_tmp"
  }
  mutate {
    add_field => {
      "[data][uid]" => "%{[_tmp][uid]}"
      "[data][ip]" => "%{[_tmp][ip]}"
    }
  }
  mutate {
    remove_field => ["_tmp"]
  }
  prune {
    whitelist_names => ["data"]
  }
}

```

Because the config didnt have any checks to see if one of the columns is empty, it would instead digest the literal string "%{[\_tmp][uid]}".

I would like to update all fields in all indices where data.uid == %{[\_tmp][uid]}". Im not entirely sure how to do this.
