Versioning

[frazer]

I have a lock version column in my db that I would love to sync with
the new es version functionality.

Just to confirm, it is my understanding that the _version # within ES
is read only and there is no way to set or change this value. Is this
correct?

Thanks

No, its more of an internal field. You can specify the version, but then the operation (index/delete) will work only if the version the doc is the same as the one provided (and then it will be incremented if it is).
