In addition to the resources Magnus pointed to, you can also use [scripted updates](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-update.html#_scripted_updates) to ensure that updates are executed without affecting each other. This moves the modification of documents to the cluster and automatically retries if there are conflicting updates. ---
