                                     Parameter to identify if partition_index was provided on each event key. ALL: Scans all partitions to get incidents and fetches their partition_index that is required for an update. NONE: Assumes partition_index is provided. If partition_index is missing on any key, then an exception is thrown. LAST_ACTIVE: Sets last 2 partitions and sends update with them. If the incident is not located on those 2 partitions, then update does not execute.  |

The number of provided IDs is limited to 1,000. Error code 400 is returned if violated.  |
