Hi there! I've got a problem. How should one deal with partial updates concurrency? I mean... what if, for instance, update the same field of a document and my request arrives unorderly (at the wrong order, meaning a older version would override a newer)? Also, it would be easy to deal with it were it only one field. But how to deal with differente fields of the same document? ---

@vncsalencar You can use [optimistic concurrency control](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/optimistic-concurrency-control.html) to solve your problem. ---
