How to update a document using the Elasticsearch Update API when "_source" is disabled?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

In my setup, ES is used for only indexing and searching and thus have
disabled "_source" to reduce storage costs and overheads. Our application
does a lot of updates and when trying to partially update documents in ES,
I am getting the following exception:

curl -X POST
"http://localhost:9200/mydb.mycoln/mytype/C97780C0-E49E-1031-86AA-005056A564B9/_update?refresh=false"
-d '
{"doc": {"iuid": "1", "crit": 50, "stt": 0, "otype": "User", "acrtby": 1}}'

{"error":"DocumentSourceMissingException[[mydb.mycoln][3]
[mytype][C97780C0-E49E-1031-86AA-005056A564B9]: document source
missing]","status":400}

Is there anyway to workaround this and still be able to update documents
partitally?

Note: Each document has 600+ fields and thus, fetching all the fields and
performing an complete 'index' of the document would be a performance
bottleneck for the application.

Best,

V. Varadhan

Source is required to update documents. If not, you would need access to
the original information and re-index.
