Using Bulk API with Update in elasticsearch 0.19.3

Hi,

Does the update API works with the bulk endpoint in ES? I am not being able
to make it work. The update thing works separately as follows :

REQUEST
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/lp/6/66207/_update' -d '{ "script" :
"ctx._source.notesCount = ctx._source.notesCount + 1"}'

RESPONSE
{"ok":true,"_index":"lp","_type":"6","_id":"66207","_version":6}

But when using with the bulk API, other actions execute, but not the update.

REQUEST
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/_bulk' -d '{ "update" : { "_index" :
"lp", "_type" : "6", "_id" : "66207" } }
{ "script" : "ctx._source.notesCount = ctx._source.notesCount + 1"}
{ "index" : { "_index" : "lp", "_type" : "6", "_id" : "test1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
{ "index" : { "_index" : "lp", "_type" : "6", "_id" : "test2" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
{}'

RESPONSE
{"took":31,"items":[{"index":{"_index":"lp","_type":"6","_id":"test1","_version":29,"ok":true}},{"index":{"_index":"lp","_type":"6","_id":"test2","_version":15,"ok":true}}]}

There is response for the two index queries, but not for the update query.
The response shows no error either. What am I doing wrong? This is creating
a roadblock in our development. Please help.

Thanks and Regards,
Sujoy.

Also, if I try to execute only a single update query via bulk API, ActionRequestValidationException[Validation
Failed: 1: no requests added;] is returned.

REQUEST
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/_bulk' -d '{ "update" : { "_index" :
"lp", "_type" : "6", "_id" : "66207" } }
{ "script" : "ctx._source.notesCount = ctx._source.notesCount + 1"}
{}'

RESPONSE
{"error":"ActionRequestValidationException[Validation Failed: 1: no
requests added;]","status":500}

Does that mean that unlike 'index' or 'delete', update is not a valid
action for bulk API? Has anyone faced this issue?

Regards,
Sujoy.

Bulk API does not support update requests currently, just index and delete.

I think that if you open an issue for it on github it could be added.

It makes sense to have a bulk API for update, the tricky bit here is to
create a nice API design so if one uses the same script, you don't have to
repeat it for each item.

Won't it have to scroll through every item?

I have modified a simple plugin that does bulk updates (
https://github.com/agnellvj/bulktag/tree/query). It's not perfect but it
gets the job done. I only need it for term fields so I just do a merge of
the existing data from ES and the incoming data.

Do you have any plan to incorporate this in future release ?

Hi Shay,

I have a few bits of suggestions on how the bulk API can be. First of all,
the data that needs to be passed in bulk API request is not a proper json,
but a string concatenation of proper jsons separated by newlines. Why it
can't be a proper json array? That would help in proper creation/
modification of the data part using jackson or similar json libraries. Also
that would overcome the current limitation of not having newlines in the
json data part.

I would like to suggest a bulk API request data format like following ....

{
"common": {
"action": {
"index": {
"_index": "lp",
"_type": "6"
}
},
"body": {
"field1": "value1"
}
},
"individual": [
{
"action": {
"update": {
"_index": "lp",
"_type": "6",
"_id": "66207"
}
},
"body": {
"script": "ctx._source.intvalue= ctx._source.intvalue + 1"
}
},
{
"action": {
"index": {
"_index": "lp",
"_type": "6",
"_id": "test1"
}
},
"body": {
"field1": "value1"
}
},
{
"action": {
"index": {
"_index": "lp",
"_type": "6",
"_id": "test2"
}
},
"body": {
"field1": "value1"
}
},
{
"action": {
"index": {
"_index": "lp",
"_type": "6",
"_id": "id13"
}
}
},
{
"action": {
"index": {
"_index": "lp",
"_type": "6",
"_id": "id14"
}
}
},
{
"body": {
"field2": "test value 2"
}
},
{
"body": {
"field2": "test value 3"
}
}
]
}

The 'common' section contains the default 'action' and 'body', which will
ONLY be applied if either of these blocks are missing for any element of
the 'individual' section.

In the above example, the first three elements of the 'individual' section
are self-complete with both 'action' and 'body' block.
The 4th and 5th element of the 'individual' block are lacking the 'body'
block, so the 'body' block from 'common' section will be applied here with
the specified 'action' blocks.
Similarly, the 6th and 7th element of the 'individual' section are lacking
the 'action' block, so the 'action' block from 'common' section will be
applied here with the specified 'body' blocks.

Makes sense?

Thanks and Regards,
Sujoy.

Bulk updates, when issued concurrently, are subject to conflict with each
other, when operating on the same documents at the same time. Maintaining
update order is significant to get the correct results. To help resolving
conflicts, a client ID and a client timestamp (tick resolution) could be
useful, e.g.

{ "action" : { "update" : { "index" : ... }, "client" : "uniqueID",
"timestamp" : "2012-05-30T10:56:14.123Z" }, ... }

Jörg

The common aspect is a nice idea, was thinking about it as well. Note that
the common section should hold probably the script you want to reference,
and then each update command will hold specific values.

Does that mean that unlike 'index' or 'delete', update is not a

There is response for the two index queries, but not for the update
query.
The response shows no error either. What am I doing wrong? This is
creating

Hi Shay,

What you suggested can probably be achieved by separating out the "script"
and "params" blocks of update in the example above. The "body" of an
"update" block, in "individual" section, will search for the "script" from
"common" section, if provided with the "params" and not "script".

In short, any missing block in "individual" will be looked upon in
"common", and the combination thereof will be executed. This "fallback" can
be at any nested level, and only the missing block will be replaced at the
most granular level of unavailability.

When things become more complex, it might be needed, however, to restrict
to a single type of operation in a single bulk request. That would not
really be a constraint, I feel, but people might think otherwise.

Yes, there might be more of such terminal conditions which needs to be
handled, but overall. it would be a nice to have feature in ES.

Thanks and Regards,
Sujoy.

Hi Shay,

I have a few bits of suggestions on how the bulk API can be. First of
all, the data that needs to be passed in bulk API request is not a proper
json, but a string concatenation of proper jsons separated by newlines. Why
it can't be a proper json array? That would help in proper creation/
modification of the data part using jackson or similar json libraries. Also
that would overcome the current limitation of not having newlines in the
json data part.

I would like to suggest a bulk API request data format like following ....

{
"common": {
"action": {
"index": {
"_index": "lp",
"_type": "6"
}
},
"body": {
"field1": "value1"
}
},
"individual": [
{
"action": {
"update": {
"_index": "lp",
"_type": "6",
"_id": "66207"
}
},
"body": {
"script": "ctx._source.intvalue= ctx._source.intvalue + 1"
}
},
{
"action": {
"index": {
"_index": "lp",
"_type": "6",
"_id": "test1"
}
},
"body": {
"field1": "value1"
}
},
{
"action": {
"index": {
"_index": "lp",
"_type": "6",
"_id": "test2"
}
},
"body": {
"field1": "value1"
}
},
{
"action": {
"index": {
"_index": "lp",
"_type": "6",
"_id": "id13"
}
}
},
{
"action": {
"index": {
"_index": "lp",
"_type": "6",
"_id": "id14"
}
}
},
{
"body": {
"field2": "test value 2"
}
},
{
"body": {
"field2": "test value 3"
}
}
]
}

The 'common' section contains the default 'action' and 'body', which will
ONLY be applied if either of these blocks are missing for any element of
the 'individual' section.

In the above example, the first three elements of the 'individual'
section are self-complete with both 'action' and 'body' block.
The 4th and 5th element of the 'individual' block are lacking the 'body'
block, so the 'body' block from 'common' section will be applied here with
the specified 'action' blocks.
Similarly, the 6th and 7th element of the 'individual' section are
lacking the 'action' block, so the 'action' block from 'common' section
will be applied here with the specified 'body' blocks.

Makes sense?

Thanks and Regards,
Sujoy.

Also, taking in consideration the conflict problem as suggested by Jörg, a
"timestamp" field can be included (optional? compulsory?) besides the
"action" and "body" fields of each element of the "individual" block to
indicate the order of execution, necessary in conflicting cases.

Thanks,
Sujoy.

Similarly, the 6th and 7th element of the 'individual' section are

Makes sense?
