I am doing updates on elastic search record using \_update\_by\_query. I am doing ?conflicts=proceed right now. When there are any version conflicts will this query skip the updation for that field and go to next field? Is there any way I could do retry on conflicts using \_update\_by\_query?
Thanks,
Surya

No, it will skip the entire document, not just a single field.

No, you can find more details in [update\_by\_query Retry on conflicts · Issue #19632 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/19632)
