Hello everyone!  
Deployed dgraph in docker, version 23.1.0 (3 zeros, 6 alphas).  
I upload the initial data via graph bulk  
command:  
`dgraph bulk -f data.rdf -s schema.txt --map_shards=4 --reduce_shards=2 --http localhost:8000 --zero=localhost:5080`

**schema.txt**

```auto
xid: string @index(exact) @upsert .
User.name: string @index(hash) .
User.follows: [uid] @reverse .
User.transaction: [uid] @reverse .
User.pos: [uid] @reverse .

```

**data.rdf**

```auto
_:user_001 <xid> "_:user_001" .
_:user_001 <User.name> "user_001" .
_:user_001 <User.follows> _:user_002 .
_:user_001 <User.pos> _:user_003 .

_:user_002 <xid> "_:user_002" .
_:user_002 <User.name> "user_002" .
_:user_002 <User.transaction> _:user_003 (count=10, amount=5600) .
_:user_002 <User.pos> _:user_003 .
_:user_002 <User.follows> _:user_003 .

_:user_003 <xid> "_:user_003" .
_:user_003 <User.name> "user_003" .
_:user_003 <User.follows> _:user_005 .

_:user_004 <xid> "_:user_004" .
_:user_004 <User.name> "user_004" .
_:user_004 <User.follows> _:user_005 .

_:user_005 <xid> "_:user_005" .
_:user_005 <User.name> "user_005" .
_:user_005 <User.follows> _:user_003 .
_:user_005 <User.follows> _:user_001 .

```

I copy the received data to the alpha nodes. Then start the cluster.  
At this stage, everything is fine, I can see the data through ratel.

Next, I’m trying to update the data  
uploading data\_upd.rdf and schema.txt to alpha1

**data\_upd.rdf**

```auto
_:user_002 <User.name> "user_002_new_name" .
_:user_002 <User.transaction> _:user_003 (count=20, amount=9999) .
_:user_002 <User.pos> _:user_003 .
_:user_002 <User.follows> _:user_005 .

```

schema.txt is the same

and run command dgraph live:  
`dgraph live --alpha alpha1:9080,alpha2:9080,alpha3:9080,alpha4:9080,alpha5:9080,alpha6:9080 -z zero1:5080 -f data_upd.rdf -s schema.txt -U xid`

**this output command:**  
_root@1af7d009dfba:/dgraph# dgraph live --alpha alpha1:9080,alpha2:9080,alpha3:9080,alpha4:9080,alpha5:9080,alpha6:9080 -z zero1:5080 -f data\_upd.rdf -s schema.txt -U xid_

The data is not updated. If I remove the -U key, then new nodes are expected to be created.  
Where do I make a mistake?
