We have to migrate a system where we currently have many ElasticSearch indexes with custom versioning activated, and we are evaluating re-implementing the engine that indexes the data but without using custom versioning since the information travels in order.

The specific question is: Can I index a new version of a document in ElasticSearch, without passing the '_version' field in the request, over an index that already has the same document ID previously indexed but with versioning?

Thanks in advance.

yes you can, Elasticsearch will auto increment the version by 1 for you
