Hello there, i import a lot of data in my ES Indexes with Logstash. If i import the same data twice (maybe a error or overlapping with the importer) , the documents are stored twice in ES. Is there any possibility to update existing docs without watching the document\_ID? Because they are damn unique. My first thought was, to create my own doc\_id with the fingerprint-filter-plugin in Logstash. But the Performance is sooo bad with this configuration. Thanks to all. ---
