How can I update data in ES when we want to insert a huge amount of data

for example-  
{  
appName:test,  
notes:test notes,  
bulkData:[  
{  
id:345345,  
name:test,  
data:[  
{temp:1},{temp;2}  
]  
}  
]  
}

now I want to add a few more data on bulkData, and also want to add few more data on bulkData.data,  
how can I achieve this without deleting the existing index

Thanks in advance
