I am trying to update some data in an Elastic Search Index,

I am trying to update using this method:

> **[Updating documents | Elasticsearch-PHP \[7.x\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/php-api/current/updating_documents.html)**

Update Method:

```auto
        $params = [
        'index' => 'my_index',
        'id' => 'my_id',
        'body' => [
            'doc' => [
                'new_field' => 'abc'
            ]
        ];

    $response = $client->update($params);

```

But I am getting the below mentioned error.

Error:

```auto
    [728376]: version conflict,
    required seqNo [145274], 
    primary term [1]. 
    current document has seqNo [779385] and primary term [2]
    Status Code: 409
    Type: version_conflict_eng
    Index: user 

```

Mapping:

```auto
    {"user":{"mappings":{"dynamic":"strict","properties":{"EMAIL":{"type":"text"},"FIRSTNAME":{"type":"text"},"MOBILE_NUMBER":{"type":"long"},"NOT_VISIBLE_IDS":{"type":"text"},"SOCIAL_CONTACT":{"type":"nested","include_in_parent":true,"properties":{"DEGREE":{"type":"long"},"FOLLOWER":{"type":"long"}}},"TOTAL_FOLLOWER":{"type":"long"},"USERID":{"type":"long"},"USERNAME":{"type":"text"},"USER_STRING_UNIQUE_ID":{"type":"text"}}}}}

```

Setting:

` {"user":{"settings":{"index":{"mapping":{"nested_objects":{"limit":"2000000"}},"number_of_shards":"5","provided_name":"user","creation_date":"1619021545916","number_of_replicas":"1","uuid":"PzyebOY9SIG-BXl-N9aW8Q","version":{"created":"7010199"}}}}}`

Is there any method to solve this?

Welcome!

Do you mean the AWS Elasticsearch service?

If so, please note that we don't support it.

Did you look at [Cloud by Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/cloud), also available if needed from [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/Elasticsearch-Inc-Elasticsearch-Service-on-Elastic/B01N6YCISK)?

Cloud by elastic is one way to have access to **all features** , all managed by us. Think about what is there yet like Security, Monitoring, Reporting, SQL, Canvas, Maps UI, Alerting and built-in solutions named [Observability](https://www.elastic.co/observability), [Security](https://www.elastic.co/security), [Enterprise Search](https://www.elastic.co/enterprise-search) and what is coming next 🙂 ...

Are you running multiple concurrent updates? How frequently is a single document likely to be updated?
