You could use [Update by Query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-update-by-query.html) and an http output that posts to elasticsearch. There is an example [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-performance-comparison-update-by-query-v-s-pulling-data-from-db-via-sql/225308).
