does this question need an example?

any nested fields.

{
      "nested_field":[
         {"id":1},
         {"id":2}
      ]
}

then, i want to add “id”:3 to the nested_field, how?

PUT index/doc/1
{
      "nested_field":[
         {"id":1},
         {"id":2},
         {"id":3}
      ]
}

is there any way appending object to the end?
not the way recreate the field.
this will cost a lot when the field is very large.

how about using script which loads all data then restore to the field with new data.
may this reduce the cost of network transmit?

and creating one field one time a day is acceptable

The update API does that: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/docs-update.html
