Recently, I realized that once a document is updated on Elasticsearch, the _version number is changed accordingly, but Kibana still shows version 1. Plus, in the JSON representation of the document, two version fields are shown.
_version is a meta field maintained by elastic search. @version is a document field (because its under _source). The two are not related in any way. @version is just an arbitrary name and could just as well have been called @myVersionNumber.
