Update scripts might want to update the documents
_timestamp
but need a notion ofnow()
.Painless doesn't support any notion of now() since it would make scripts non-pure functions. Yet,
in the update case this is a valid value and we can pass it with the context together to allow the
script to record the timestamp the document was updated.
