Document Operation

Document Operations

An index stores multiple documents. Users can perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) on documents via the API. In SeaSearch, each document has a unique ID.

Tip

Due to architectural design, SeaSearch’s performance for single document CRUD operations is much lower than that of ElasticSearch. Therefore, we recommend using batch operations whenever possible.

ElasticSearch Document APIs contain many additional parameters that are not meaningful to SeaSearch and are not supported. All query parameters are unsupported.

Create Document

ElasticSearch API: Index Document

Update Document

ElasticSearch’s update API supports partial updates to fields. SeaSearch only supports full document updates and does not support updating data via script or detecting if an update is a no-op.

If the document does not exist during an update, SeaSearch will create the corresponding document.

ElasticSearch API: Update Document

Delete Document

Delete a document by its ID.

ElasticSearch API: Delete Document

Get Document by ID

[GET] /api/${indexName}/_doc/${docId}

Batch Operations

It is recommended to use batch operations to update indexes.
