Is it possible to get attachments as binary stream?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I have not seen such possibility in the documentation. This question I ask to be sure that it can not be done.
As I understand, ES does not store the attachments in binary. ES get attachment as base64 stream from JSON and index it.

Thanks!

Hi,

AFAIK it is not possible. You get Base64 encoded content from _source which
you have to decode on your side.

I don't think it's possible as you can't put binary in a JSON content.
What is your use case ?

In couchdb, the attachments can be uploaded in binary and can be indexed by
ES.
