It is necessary to check if the user is in the index in this file or not. If not, then add to the file, if it is in the file, then nothing happens

file.csv 

usernameinfo1info2
johnabcdqwer

 

index = IndexName

usernameinfo1info2
Aramghjkqweiq

 

Condition, if the user is not found in the file, then write it to the file 

output 

usernameinfo1info2
johnabcdqwer
Aramghjkqweiq

I have a check where two parameters are compared via "where"

example | where id != id_old

there are already users with ID in the file, and after verification new IDs are added. But it happens that a new user appears in the index. 

And it turns out if "| where id != id_old" it does not pass.  And I need to add a condition,if the check did not work "| where id != id_old", then check whether such a user exists at all in the file
