== Update API
You can either create an `UpdateRequest` and send it to the client:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
UpdateRequest updateRequest = new UpdateRequest();
updateRequest.index("index");
updateRequest.type("type");
updateRequest.id("1");
updateRequest.doc(jsonBuilder()
.startObject()
.field("gender", "male")
.endObject());
client.update(updateRequest).get();
--------------------------------------------------
Or you can use `prepareUpdate()` method:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
client.prepareUpdate("ttl", "doc", "1")
.setScript("ctx._source.gender = \"male\"" <1> , ScriptService.ScriptType.INLINE)
.get();
client.prepareUpdate("ttl", "doc", "1")
.setDoc(jsonBuilder() <2>
.startObject()
.field("gender", "male")
.endObject())
.get();
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Your script. It could also be a locally stored script name.
In that case, you'll need to use `ScriptService.ScriptType.FILE`
<2> Document which will be merged to the existing one.
Note that you can't provide both `script` and `doc`.
[[java-update-api-script]]
=== Update by script
The update API allows to update a document based on a script provided:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
UpdateRequest updateRequest = new UpdateRequest("ttl", "doc", "1")
.script("ctx._source.gender = \"male\"");
client.update(updateRequest).get();
--------------------------------------------------
[[java-update-api-merge-docs]]
=== Update by merging documents
The update API also support passing a partial document, which will be merged into the existing document (simple
recursive merge, inner merging of objects, replacing core "keys/values" and arrays). For example:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
UpdateRequest updateRequest = new UpdateRequest("index", "type", "1")
.doc(jsonBuilder()
.startObject()
.field("gender", "male")
.endObject());
client.update(updateRequest).get();
--------------------------------------------------
[[java-update-api-upsert]]
=== Upsert
There is also support for `upsert`. If the document does not already exists, the content of the `upsert`
element will be used to index the fresh doc:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
IndexRequest indexRequest = new IndexRequest("index", "type", "1")
.source(jsonBuilder()
.startObject()
.field("name", "Joe Smith")
.field("gender", "male")
.endObject());
UpdateRequest updateRequest = new UpdateRequest("index", "type", "1")
.doc(jsonBuilder()
.startObject()
.field("gender", "male")
.endObject())
.upsert(indexRequest); <1>
client.update(updateRequest).get();
--------------------------------------------------
<1> If the document does not exist, the one in `indexRequest` will be added
If the document `index/type/1` already exists, we will have after this operation a document like:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"name" : "Joe Dalton",
"gender": "male" <1>
}
--------------------------------------------------
<1> This field is added by the update request
If it does not exist, we will have a new document:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"name" : "Joe Smith",
"gender": "male"
}
--------------------------------------------------
