Arguments #

collection: collection name

Optional: #

refresh: if set to wait_for, Kuzzle will not respond until the updates are indexed
retryOnConflict: conflicts may occur if the same document gets updated multiple times within a short timespan in a database cluster. You can set the retryOnConflict optional argument (with a retry count), to tell Kuzzle to retry the failing updates the specified amount of times before rejecting the request with an error.

Body properties #

documents: an array of object. Each object describes a document to update, by exposing the following properties:
- _id : ID of the document to replace
- body: partial changes to apply to the document

Response #

Returns a hits array containing the list of updated documents.

Each document has the following properties:

_id: document unique identifier
_source: updated document content
