Hi,  
I am directly ingesting kafka recored from kafka topic to Elasticsearch server, if there is coming records is updated with the existing in Elasticsearch server so how can i handle it with logstash that if creation it ingesting and if updating with existing record it update the record.  
eg. existing record in Elasticsearch - \> id = 1 , name=jhon and updated record id=1, name=smith  
so how can i handle it as we know unique \_id is created for each record in Elasticsearch.  
sorry for english i hope you understand my question. i am new in Elasticsearch  
Thanks
