Hello,

I have a nodejs app that calls ES's updateByQuery API like below:

```auto
elasticsearchClient.updateByQuery({
            index: 'logstash-dev-2019.05.14',
            body: {
                "query": {
                    "ids": {
                        "values": alert.esId
                    }
                },
                "script": {
                    "source": `ctx._source.alertObject.violation_status = 'closed'`,
                    "lang": "painless"
                }
            }
        });

```

However occasionally, I run into `version_conflict_engine_exception` . I want to proceed with the conflict by using `conflict=proceed` as mentioned in the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-update-by-query.html#docs-update-by-query). Where do I fit this into my update call?
