# Update document
|
|
Introduced 1.0
|
|
{: .label .label-purple }
|
|
|
|
If you need to update a document's fields in your index, you can use the update document API operation. You can do so by specifying the new data you want in your index or by including a script in your request body, which OpenSearch runs to update the document.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
POST /sample-index1/_update/1
|
|
{
|
|
"doc": {
|
|
"first_name" : "Bruce",
|
|
"last_name" : "Wayne"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
{% include copy-curl.html %}
|
|
|
|
## Script example
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
POST /test-index1/_update/1
|
|
{
|
|
"script" : {
|
|
"source": "ctx._source.secret_identity = \"Batman\""
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
{% include copy-curl.html %}
|
|
|
|
## Path and HTTP methods
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST /<index>/_update/<_id>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## URL parameters
|
|
|
|
Parameter | Type | Description | Required
|
|
:--- | :--- | :--- | :---
|
|
<index> | String | Name of the index. | Yes
|
|
<_id> | String | The ID of the document to update. | Yes
|
|
if_seq_no | Integer | Only perform the update operation if the document has the specified sequence number. | No
|
|
if_primary_term | Integer | Perform the update operation if the document has the specified primary term. | No
|
|
lang | String | Language of the script. Default is `painless`. | No
|
|
require_alias | Boolean | Specifies whether the destination must be an index alias. Default is false. | No
|
|
refresh | Enum | If true, OpenSearch refreshes shards to make the operation visible to searching. Valid options are `true`, `false`, and `wait_for`, which tells OpenSearch to wait for a refresh before executing the operation. Default is `false`. | No
|
|
retry_on_conflict | Integer | The amount of times OpenSearch should retry the operation if there's a document conflict. Default is 0. | No
|
|
routing | String | Value to route the update operation to a specific shard. | No
|
|
_source | Boolean or List | Whether or not to include the `_source` field in the response body. Default is `false`. This parameter also supports a comma-separated list of source fields for including multiple source fields in the query response. | No
|
|
_source_excludes | List | A comma-separated list of source fields to exclude in the query response. | No
|
|
_source_includes | List | A comma-separated list of source fields to include in the query response. | No
|
|
timeout | Time | How long to wait for a response from the cluster. | No
|
|
wait_for_active_shards | String | The number of active shards that must be available before OpenSearch processes the update request. Default is 1 (only the primary shard). Set to `all` or a positive integer. Values greater than 1 require replicas. For example, if you specify a value of 3, the index must have two replicas distributed across two additional nodes for the operation to succeed. | No
|
|
|
|
## Request body
|
|
|
|
Your request body must contain the information you want to update your document with. If you just want to replace certain fields in your document, your request body must include a `doc` object, which has the fields you want to update.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"doc": {
|
|
"first_name": "Thomas",
|
|
"last_name": "Wayne"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also use a script to tell OpenSearch how to update your document.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"script" : {
|
|
"source": "ctx._source.oldValue += params.newValue",
|
|
"lang": "painless",
|
|
"params" : {
|
|
"newValue" : 10
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Upsert
|
|
|
|
Upsert is an operation that conditionally either updates an existing document or inserts a new one based on information in the object. In the sample below, the `upsert` object updates the last name and adds the `age` field if a document already exists. If a document does not exist, a new one is indexed using content in the `upsert` object.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"doc": {
|
|
"first_name": "Martha",
|
|
"last_name": "Rivera"
|
|
},
|
|
"upsert": {
|
|
"last_name": "Oliveira",
|
|
"age": "31"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
You can also add `doc_as_upsert` to the request and set it to `true` to use the information in `doc` for performing the upsert operation.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"doc": {
|
|
"first_name": "Martha",
|
|
"last_name": "Oliveira",
|
|
"age": "31"
|
|
},
|
|
"doc_as_upsert": true
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Response

|
