Nicholas Verbeck commented on BEAM-3201:
----------------------------------------
>From what I dug into for the bull api, they are. Just 2 more fields within
the meta data json record, _type and _index to go with the _id fields you'd
be adding.
> ElasticsearchIO should deal with documents id

> Today the ESIO only inserts the payload of the ES documents. Elasticsearch
> generates a document id for each record inserted. So each new insertion is
> considered as a new document. Users want to be able to update documents using
> the IO. So, for the write part of the IO, users should be able to provide a
> document id so that they could update already stored documents. Providing an
> id for the documents could also help the user on indempotency.
