how to use retry_on_conflict on update

[zoebraiyan]

retry_on_conflict cannot be used if version number is passed. How to not pass the version number when calling update method on document.

@zoebraiyan I ended up using elasticsearch-py connection.update() directly and retry_on_conflict works properly

can you give more details? i quite don't understand, when i use retry_on_conflict, always get

'action_request_validation_exception', "Validation Failed: 1: can't provide both retry_on_conflict and a specific version;"

same issue here. Although retry_on_conflict parameter was added to Document.update() in this library, it seems that version is always passed as well so the problem actually isn't resolved and retry doesn't occur.

I managed to work around this #1432 by overriding doc.meta["version"] but this seems safe only for my use-case
