Hi All,
I have a 3 node cluster. After indexing the document, i am updating the document with additional fields. Multiple process tries to add new fields (As I have a multilugual db and for each lang a process tries to send a update request with a new field). When I do this in cluster mode, I am getting version\_conflict\_engine\_exception and retry\_on\_conflict didnt help. I am doing a bulk request here. When I carry the same with a ES cluster on a single node, I dont face this issue. Can you please help me
I am using ES 2.3.2
**Error:**
