How can I partial update a storage object by REST API?  
for example update just **`save`** field:

```auto
      {
        "collection": "saves",
        "key": "savegame",
        "value": "{\"save\":123,\"nosave\":456}"
      }

```

@nkadd I wrote a large post on how best to do this at the moment with Nakama server:

> Hey @Ndidi. This is a great post. Thanks for the question. I’ll share as much detail as I can on what approach we recommend that will scale well with Nakama with these kinds of requirements but first some context. Nakama’s storage engine API supports key-value batch gets, updates, and deletes as well as listings to return a range of objects in a collection (which optionally belong to a specific user). We don’t have an official partial update API yet or the option to filter within the contents …

In the future we plan to add JSON path support to perform partial updates as an official API in the storage engine.
