Can I update multiple documents with different field values at once?
I have an index of 280,000 documents in elasticsearch. I need to assign unique field values for each document. Currently I am iterating through all ID values and updating each document using _update. This process works fine but is very slow taking around 8 hours for 280,000 documents.
Any ideas on how I could speed this process up? Is it possible to update multiple documents at once assigning different field values to each document.

Use bulk api using which you can update multiple document in a single request.

Try using ES Bulk API, which will allow you to update multiple documents with single request.
I would suggest to check the refresh property on the index as well, if you refresh the index every time you insert a record the performance will go down and I think that is whats happening to you just now. But if you use bulk update that should be fine, jsut something to keep in mind.

I'll try bulk update. Does refresh occur every time I change a field value for a document?

You can set refresh property to a small value or a big value. It depends how quick you want your documents (values) to be available. The smaller the value + super often updates = poor performance, hence use the bulk update.
