1. By default, it creates an index if the index does not exist. But no, it won't create an index if the index does not exist and the following is in your elsasticsearch.yml configuration:
action.auto_create_index: false 2. But did you mean: Does it create a *document* if the document does not exist? If so, then yes: The index action updates the document if it exists but creates the document if it does not exist. The create action fails if the document already exists. 3. I deleted my first post because I realized that it didn't answer your question: I wasn't using prepareUpdate and actually have no experience with that particular API action. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused. I hope this helps. Brian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
