Hello, guys!  
currently i have an index, like it have three fields: id, otherIds(split by ","), score.  
now i have such requirement:  
i want to update the score by query at otherIds,  
the udpateByQuery api can meet my needs like blow:

```
UpdateByQueryRequestBuilder ubqrb = UpdateByQueryAction.INSTANCE.newRequestBuilder(
                        EpScoreComputeAndUpdate.client_statistics1);
               ctx._source.grade=newGrade;
               String inlineScript="if(ctx._source.grade == null) ctx._source.grade=newGrade; else if(ctx._source.grade<newGrade) ctx._source.grade=newGrade";
                  Map<String,Object> params=Maps.newHashMap();
                            params.put("newGrade",0);
                            Script script = new Script(inlineScript, org.elasticsearch.script.ScriptService.ScriptType.INLINE, org.elasticsearch.script.ScriptService.DEFAULT_LANG, params);
    ubqrb.source("vcg_editorial")
                        .script(script)
                        .filter(QueryBuilders.termQuery("otherIds","386022522"));
                   BulkIndexByScrollResponse response= ubqrb.get();

```

but i can not batch execute them.

anyone know why batch execute UpdateByQueryRequest is not supported? or i miss something?
