There was a change that affected certain types of update scenarios for ES 5.X as outlined in the [release notes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/breaking_50_document_api_changes.html#_get_api). This was also discussed in [this thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/bulk-updates-are-extremely-slow-after-upgrading-to-5-2/79450/26). Does this match how you are doing updates?
