Update using an entire document

When you index a document with the existing document ID, it will replace the current document with the new document. As shown next, we can update the document ID 1 using the entire document:

 PUT chapter4/person/1 {   "id": 1,   "name": "name update 1",   "age": 55,   "gender": "M",   "email": "[e-mail]",   "last_modified_date": "2017-02-15" }

The response is as follows:

{   "_index": "chapter4",   "_type": "person",   "_id": "1",   "_version": 2,   "result": "updated",   "_shards": {     "total": 2,     "successful": 1,     "failed": 0   },   "created": false }

You can see from the response that the result of the operation is updated, version is 2, and created is false.
