According to [Update settings (when writing to Elasticsearch)](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/current/configuration.html#cfg-update), I can provide a list of fields to be passed into my update script `params` with `es.update.script.params`. Is there a way to say I want the entire document being indexed to be passed in? Essentially all fields without explicitly listing each one?

I realize I could just wrap the whole document in a single dummy field and list that in `params` but I'm performing upserts and don't want that dummy wrapper in the document if it does an insert.

I'm using `es.input.json = true`

Hmm, this is an interesting use case. I've never really thought of that before. Worth opening an enhancement issue on the [github project](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-hadoop).
