But when I update the doc all fields using updateRequest, it is working.

Welcome to our community! 😃

It'd be useful if you could show code examples of what you are doing, as well as any responses from Elasticsearch.

no, no any error, the status is ok, but the fields not be updated.

I get the error, despite the response status is ok, using `response.buildFailureMessage()` can get the error message.

thanks.
