✔ ️Updating documents

REPLACE

REPLACE works similar to INSERT, but it marks the old document with the same ID as a new document as deleted before inserting a new document.

REPLACE is supported for RT and PQ indexes.

The old document is not removed from the index, it is only marked as deleted. Because of this the index size grows until index chunks are merged and documents marked as deleted in these chunks are not included in the chunk created as a result of merge. You can force chunk merge by using OPTIMIZE statement.

The syntax of the REPLACE statement is identical to INSERT syntax:

REPLACE INTO index [(column1, column2, ...)]
    VALUES (value1, value2, ...)
    [, (...)]

REPLACE using HTTP protocol is performed via the /replace endpoint. There's also a synonym endpoint, /index.

Multiple documents can be replaced at once. See bulk adding documents for more details.
