If there are multiple operations on a single document in a bulk request then these are processed in order. There is no ordering guarantee across operations on separate documents. See here:

> [@Order of \_bulk request operations](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/order-of--bulk-request-operations/98124/2):

> You can rely on the fact that operations on the same document (same \_index, \_type and \_id) will be in order. However you can't assume anything for documents that have different indices/types/ids.
