Update API

You can either create an UpdateRequest and send it to the client:

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:

client.prepareUpdate("ttl", "doc", "1")
        .setScript(new Script(
            "ctx._source.gender = \"male\"", 
            ScriptService.ScriptType.INLINE))
        .get();

client.prepareUpdate("ttl", "doc", "1")
        .setDoc(jsonBuilder()               
            .startObject()
                .field("gender", "male")
            .endObject())
        .get();

Your script. It could also be a locally stored script name. In that case, you’ll need to use ScriptService.ScriptType.FILE

Document which will be merged to the existing one.

Note that you can’t provide both script and doc.
