Running 5.5.6 and using the \_bulk method with the version type external\_gte returns this conflict error
```auto
"type": "version_conflict_engine_exception",
"reason": "[indexname][12701]: version conflict, current version [33321437] is higher than the one provided [33321434]"
```
Do we know if this bug has been fixed in a later version?
