The wiki documentation isn't really clear on how client.Update() works. It's needed to completely change a field and to modify arrays. i.e. in the example in the wiki documentation, how would one go about appending and removing tags to a tweet or changing a tweet's content? Also if a tweet was represented in go as a struct and I added a nested struct called "echo" which contains a foo of type int, content of type string and another type string array, how would one go about changing any of these fields using client.Update() if it's even possible?
In my personal example I have this function:
func UpdateEntryContent(eclient *elastic.Client, entryID string, newContent []rune) error{
ctx:=context.Background()
exists, err := eclient.IndexExists(ENTRY_INDEX).Do(ctx)
if err != nil {return err}
if !exists {return errors.New("Index does not exist")}
_, err = eclient.Update().Index(ENTRY_INDEX).Type(ENTRY_TYPE).Id(entryID).
Script("ctx._source.Content = newCont").
ScriptParams(map[string]interface{}{"newCont": newContent}).
Do(ctx)
if err != nil {return err}
return nil
}
But I get this following error when I try to compile:
cannot use "ctx._source.Content = newCont" (type string) as type *elastic.Script in argument to eclient.Update().Index(ENTRY_INDEX).Type(ENTRY_TYPE).Id(entryID).Script
eclient.Update().Index(ENTRY_INDEX).Type(ENTRY_TYPE).Id(entryID).Script("ctx._source.Content = newCont").ScriptParams undefined (type *elastic.UpdateService has no field or method ScriptParams)
