Is it possible to perform bulk partial updates using Nest ?  
Right now the following following code snippet does the update for a single document.

elasticClient.Update\<MyModel, object\>(u =\> u  
.Id(documentId)  
.Doc(new  
{  
Remarks = remarks  
})  
.RetryOnConflict(3)  
.Refresh().Index(indexName));

Thanks,  
Pavan

Hello, this code works on NEST version="2.4.1"

```
            var descriptor = new BulkDescriptor();

            foreach (var item in updateList)
            {
                descriptor.Update<VendorProductSearchModel, PartialVendorProductStoreListUpdate>(a => a.Id(item.VendorProductId).Doc(item.PartialUpdate));
            }

            var resp = _client.Bulk(descriptor);
```
