Not sure I fully understand the use case but AFAIK you can not keep the same version.
If needed, you can try to manage version by yourself using external versioning: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index_.html#index-versioning Note sure it helps though. -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | Elasticsearch.com @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 17 janvier 2014 at 14:13:19, joa (joafeldm...@gmail.com) a écrit: Is it possible to disable the increment of the version counter on some update operations? I've a views counter which is updated whenever user "opens" a file in ma app. body: { script: 'ctx._source.views += 1',} I don't want this to affect the version number, cause when some other user is doing updates on other document attributes, updates could not be saved due to version conflict. On the other hand I'd like to use the versioning feature to make sure multiple users are overriding their changes. (except from the views field) Thanks, Joa -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
