Hi.  
I want to use java api to perform document update.  
But I can not make it work from java.  
My code:  
...  
import org.elasticsearch.action.update.UpdateRequest;  
...  
UpdateRequest request = client.prepareUpdate().setIndex("users")  
.setType("user").setId(id).setScript(script)  
.request();  
client.update(request);

...  
When I post my script with use of Http standard libraries it works, the document is updated.  
Can someone explain how to use UpdateRequest ?  
BR
