Update and delete enquiry

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Dear All,

I am learning and evaluating the EC; and I have 2 questions about
document update and delete in EC.

First of all, if I want to update a document, do I just submit a new
post with the same ID to the EC? I have tried the steps and after
submitting in that way, The document no longer returns. In fact, I
cannot find any example on how to update doc on EC website.

Next, does the space of all deleted docs release NRT? If not, how can
I get back the space?

Thanks a lot.

Not sure I understand the questions. You update a document by indexing the
full document with the new data. Did not understand the second question on
deleted docs and release NRT?

The deleted docs stay in the underlying Lucene index until the next merge of
that index segment.

Yes, they are, though just to complete the picture, they are "invisible"
when searching (on the next refresh).
