Update a field if _source is disabled

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I read it here
(http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-update.html)
that the _source field needs to be enabled for Update API to work.

Does it mean that from Java or REST API, I cannot update any field defined
in the type mapping unless the _source is enabled?

Can I just use the stored:true on that field and update it? If so, can you
please show an example?

Thanks,
Sandeep

No you can't as behind the scene the full document is removed and inserted with new values (new version).
