I want to add a pull request into the EVE

[Hedgehogues]

Hello, I see this question.
Do I have the ability to somehow update a document other than PATCH? I have a large document. But I need update the only field one. This is a very long for me (200 ms). I have document next kind:

{
   "x" : [
     {"field": 1},
     {"field": 2},
     {"field": 3},
     {"field": 4}
   ]
}

I need update, for example, the latest element of array. Or I need add new element into array. Do I have way do it without get all document and patch it entirely?

If answer is no. Could I patch the source to add new feature? Could you accept my pull request? I see some people have the same problem. I see some advice to solve this problem with hooks, but this is a very strange way.

Is there any way update the document without patch, but with save the same _id and new _etag?

Hi, on top of my memory, I think you can replace the whole field x with a PATCH, not the single value of its array. Feel free to submit a PR I will be happy to review it.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
