Hi Because esrally doesn't support upsert's I want to try a different approach, as to use esrally only for measurements, and do the operation externally. My question is, is there a way to make an empty operation, that will take X amount of time and this way I can try bench upsert's?

How to measure an 'Empty' operation

Also please check the documentation for custom parameter sources.

There is a similar (older) discussion containing more guidance regarding the use of a custom parameter source for updates in this topic.
