The Maven dependency is in the documentation I linked to. There are also examples. If you can't make it work, share what you did so far and we can probably help. I do have an example but might be much more complex than your original question though. Anyway, here we go: > ---

There is nothing like an automatic sequence you can use in elasticsearch. But elasticsearch can always generate unique ids for you if you don't specify the Id. ``` POST index/_doc { // whatever } ``` To get a document using java use [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/current/java-rest-high-document-get.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/current/java-rest-high-document-get.html) ---

No. As I said there is nothing like this out of the box. You can simulate it though with something described in [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/2.x/partial-updates.html#\_updates\_and\_conflicts](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/2.x/partial-updates.html#_updates_and_conflicts). But you'd better do it within your application or using another mechanism (which I don't know). ---

Yes. The document index API. ---

Please format your code, logs or configuration files using `` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable. Or use markdown style like: ```` ``` CODE ``` ```` This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/e/7e6e239431ec2d71cbf1beef741f2e93e7cc762c.jpg) There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons. Lots of people read these forums, and many of them will simply skip over a post that is difficult to read, because it's just too large an investment of their time to try and follow a wall of badly formatted text. If your goal is to get an answer to your questions, it's in your interest to make it as easy to read and understand as possible. Please update your post. Please share what is the exact problem you have. Also, I don't recommend using the update API unless you absolutely need it but prefer the index document API. ---
