Patch + Insert item (similar to Upsert)

[GopalanHarish]

Is there a way to create a document if PatchItemAsync() fails with 404 Not Found? I am looking for something similar to UpsertItemAsync() but for Patch operations.

Currently, I do a PatchItemAsync() and if document does not exist it throws a 404 Not Found exception and then I do a CreateItemAsync() for that item.

Problem is I want to do a Bulk Insert using AllowBulkExecution = true and this is not a good approach.

My other idea is to fetch all the document id's and conditionally create a List<Task> (for bulk) group for PatchItemAsync() and CreateItemAsync(). Not really happy with this but I don't see another way.

Question, is there a better solution to handle such cases using SDK?

I've been waiting for this feature for a long time. MongoDb had this 5 years ago and it was exceptionally useful when some properties were always safe to override.
