Update ops: doc_as_upsert vs upsert properties

What's the difference between doc_as_upsert and upsert properties for
updates?

Documentation
at http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-update.html
seems to describe the same behaviour in different ways: that they update
the given properties in the document if it exists in the index, or are
indexed as the document if not.

Thanks

upsert is usually used to pass an initial doc when you're using scripts to
update.

doc_as_upsert is used when you're updating using a partial doc. it saves
you from passing the doc twice: one as doc and once as upsert

Hey Clint, thanks for the response.

So when updating, upsert can only be used in conjunction with a script? And
for when you don't need a script you place your doc properties to upsert as
doc and set doc_as_upsert: true?
