Returning values from an update script

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I'm running an update request using a script. How can I return values from
that?

Specifically, I want to return true/false based on what update the script
has done.

Thank you &
Best regards,

  • Daniel

Hey,

you can return fields from the update response (even the whole source), see
the end of

You could then compare on the application side, if something had changed.
Does that help?

Thanks Alexander.
fields might be exactly what I need.
Do you know what happens if there is a race / conflict-and-retry situation?

Will the field values returned for a request always be the ones set by that
request?
Or can you do an update, but get a returned value which comes from a
different but concurrent update?

Thank you for your time & help,
