Hi, I am using the "external" version-type for all my documents (they come from another primary database and I want to keep the versions between them consistent).
Am I right in assuming that this basically means that I can't use the _update API (with a script or partial documents), because it always seems to increase the version internally (making the document version go out of sync with the version in the primary database)? And I don't see a way of specifying a version or version type for update requests (at least in the Java API). It's not critical (i can always do a reindex from the primary DB instead), but I thought being able to use the update API could potentially save some network roundtrips / performance. But thinking about it I see that getting the semantics right in that case (should the update just fail if the provided external version does not match? etc.) is probably difficult.
