Hi Team,

We would like to know if we can upload document/image as a data into Elasticsearch. And will it index the text which is there in that document/image. So that we can search the text present on that document/image

You can use FSCrawler project for this.  
It has a rest interface where you can "upload" a binary document.

You can try the ingest attachment plugin but it won't do OCR.
