Updating fields without effecting version number (using external versioning)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am using external versioning with my document.

However, I have the need to update a certain field in the document
regardless of the external version number for that document. I don't want
to modify the external or internal version number when making this update.
And lastly, I want the update to fail if the document does not exist.

What is the ideal way to achieve this?

Thanks,

Dhruv

Unfortunately no. The only way to not increment the version is to pass one
in. In 1.1 you can do (with care) version_type=force&version=<new_version>
and this will do a force update with your specified new version.
