Pyes API/documentation on using Update API

es_learner · September 28, 2012, 10:50pm

So I read up a bit more on the Update API - http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/update.html

But I'm lost in finding pyes API docs for the same. The above link did mention 'update operation supports similar parameters as the index API' but how I do I pass in the ctx and params used in the curl examples.

Any pointers please?

Hey,

AFAIK, there is an "update" function in pyes, but it's not using the Update
API. Here's the relevant snip from

github.com

aparo/pyes/blob/master/pyes/es.py

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from elasticsearch import SerializationError

import six

from datetime import date, datetime
from decimal import Decimal

if six.PY2:
    from six.moves.urllib.parse import urlencode, urlunsplit, urlparse
else:
    from urllib.parse import urlencode, urlunsplit, urlparse
# import urllib.request, urllib.parse, urllib.error


import base64
import codecs
import random
import weakref

This file has been truncated. show original

def update(self, extra_doc, index, doc_type, id, querystring_args=None,
           update_func=None, attempts=2):
    """
    Update an already indexed typed JSON document.

    The update happens client-side, i.e. the current document is retrieved,
    updated locally and finally pushed to the server. This may repeat up to
    ``attempts`` times in case of version conflicts.

    :param update_func: A callable ``update_func(current_doc, extra_doc)``
        that computes and returns the updated doc. Alternatively it may
        update ``current_doc`` in place and return None. The default
        ``update_func`` is ``dict.update``.

    :param attempts: How many times to retry in case of version conflict.
    """

So you can use that, but I think it would be risky to use it if you have
multiple processes/threads.
