10:24 AMI think we should support bulk
patch-update API.Right now I can update an attribute of one
row at a time. Using PATCH API:PATCH ${TYPESENSE_HOST}/collections/:collection/documents/:idAnd we have other option to update using
/collections/products/documents/import?action=upsertBut the problem with the 2nd option is, we need to send all the attributes. Not just changed ones.
