Hey, We have two types of documents type A and type B both are connected through an Id field

Type A  
{  
"id": "abc",  
"name": "xyz",  
"class": "mno"  
}

Type B  
{  
"id": "abc",  
}  
I want to update all the Type B documents and I want them to have "name" field from the corresponding Type A document.  
So the final Type B document should look like  
Type B  
{  
"id": "abc",  
"name": "xyz"  
}  
Is it possible to do such updates through native elastic update queries?

No Elasticsearch cannot automatically do this for you. You can to do this in your own code during indexing, or you could use a reindex request to create new documents.
