Hi All,

I'm trying to update multiple documents using list of document ids by storing their id's in map/list, and then at specific event call **"update"** for each of that document id.

I've tried following conf code for output elastic plugin

> ```
> output
> {
> #print output on console
> stdout
> {
> codec =>rubydebug
> }
>       
> #elasticsearch port 9200                
> elasticsearch 
> { 
> hosts => ["localhost:9200"] 
> document_id => "%{document_id}" 
> index => "jackwillswebsiteorderstimeline-%{+YYYY-MM-dd}" 
> }
>   
> if [status] == "FILE_PROCESSING_ERROR"
> {
> elasticsearch 
> {
> hosts => ["localhost:9200"] 
> index => "jackwillswebsiteorderstimeline-%{+YYYY-MM-dd}" 
> action => "update"
> doc_as_upsert => true
> document_id => "G2Q_ORD-0000000-20170917-190205-ODW1873109-2"
> script_lang => "painless"
> script_type => "inline"
> script => 'ctx._source.status = "Order Failed"'
> }
> }
> }
> 
> ```

Please suggest improvements in my script to achieve what i'm trying.

Thanks
