Is it possible to update a document by merging data when indexed?
Eg:
$ curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test/test/1' -d '
{
"foo" : "something"
}
'
$ curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test/test/1' -d '
{
"bar" : "something else"
}
'
This will result in just "bar" existing in the index.
Is there anyway to get it so that both "foo" and "bar" are now indexed
for this document?
Eg something like "opType": "update"?
The reasoning for this is that some of the data is only available when
the document is first created, after that point updates only contain
partial data.
This is because I'm indexing the contents of uploaded files, plus
storing some other metadata with them. The user can update the
metadata, which then needs to be re-indexed, but the original file
itself has since been sent out to S3 and is no longer stored locally
to be able to index.
Plus I wouldn't want to have to re-parse the files each time a change
is made as that seems like a waste.
Cheers.
