Hi, I using MySql to dumb data into elasticsearch. It runs every 5 mins and got duplicate results.  
I want to replace data so there will be no duplicate entries in it. How can i achieve this?

> P.S. I need to replace whole index not document itself.

What is your query?  
I'm afraid that you didn't included the timefilter so you got the duplicate data...
