I wish to do an update_by_query request using my python elasticsearch client. I wish to query with index, type and a field which is NOT id. Based on that field I wish to update some of the other fields but if that query returns no results, a new document should be created with the aforementioned index and type.

I could do a search and then update but I wish to do this with one query only. Also I would like to execute multiple such operations using helpers.bulk(es, result) where es is the elasticsearch clientand result is a list of jsons. Elasticsearch Version is 5.4

  • @asettouf I am blocked in the sense I can't find any documentation or exxample on how to implement the above whatsoever Commented May 11, 2017 at 9:24
  • I'm in the same boat as @SagnikSinha, there's no documentation on this. Wondering if it is possible even outside the python dsl Commented Feb 1, 2018 at 0:25
  • Painless scripting could do the job if python doesn't work for you Commented Mar 27, 2020 at 22:45
  • @cluis92 Any resources or snippets in the mentioned direction, IMO painless inline scripting will be executed on the queried documents that are available in the index Commented Sep 23, 2020 at 14:30
