Does Elasticsearch Nest support Update By Query - elasticsearch

Question

I want to use the UpdateByQuery method on the high level client but can't find any documentation for Nest. They have great documentation if I wanted to make a CURL request but nothing for NEST. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-update-by-query.html
If anyone has and example of them using it or can share documentation they have found that would be awesome!

Answer 1

Update By Query API is supported in NEST. Here's an example adapted from the integration tests. NEST Documentation for Index and Update APIs is planned :)
private static void Main()
{
var pool = new SingleNodeConnectionPool(new Uri("http://localhost:9200"));
var settings = new ConnectionSettings(pool)
.DefaultMappingFor<Test>(m => m
.IndexName("tests")
.TypeName("test")
);
var client = new ElasticClient(settings);
var index = IndexName.From<Test>();
if (client.IndexExists(index).Exists)
client.DeleteIndex(index);
client.CreateIndex(index, c => c
.Mappings(m => m
.Map<Test>(map => map
.Properties(props => props
.Text(s => s.Name(p => p.Text))
.Keyword(s => s.Name(p => p.Flag))
)
)
)
);
client.Bulk(b => b
.IndexMany(new[] {
new Test { Text = "words words", Flag = "bar" },
new Test { Text = "words words", Flag = "foo" }
})
.Refresh(Refresh.WaitFor)
);
client.Count<Test>(s => s
.Query(q => q
.Match(m => m
.Field(p => p.Flag)
.Query("foo")
)
)
);
client.UpdateByQuery<Test>(u => u
.Query(q => q
.Term(f => f.Flag, "bar")
)
.Script("ctx._source.flag = 'foo'")
.Conflicts(Conflicts.Proceed)
.Refresh(true)
);
client.Count<Test>(s => s
.Query(q => q
.Match(m => m
.Field(p => p.Flag)
.Query("foo")
)
)
);
}
public class Test
{
public string Text { get; set; }
public string Flag { get; set; }
}
Observe that the count from the first Count API call is 1, and on the second Count API call after the Update By Query API call, it's 2.
