I have used this way to creating index and fetching data from it.

router.get('/create', function (req, res, next) {  
client.index({  
index: 'check',  
id: '1',  
type: 'test',  
body: {  
"user\_id": 1,  
"name": 'Vikrant Trivedi',  
}

```
            }, function (err, resp, status) {
                console.log(resp);
            });
        });

```

But i am not able to update and delete this existing record. Please help me out for the same, its bit urgent. Thanks
