Query then update documents by using scripting

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi fellows,

Is there a way to do query first then update specific field of the
documents returned on server side? I found there are scripting tutorials on
querying and updating documents respectively, but there is nothing on
combining these two together.

Thanks in advance

Hi Shawn,

One way to do it is from your application. For example, do a query, take
the results, change them to whatever you want, then update them. If you
have too many results, you might need to do a scroll on your search results.
