Hi, I encountered a similar issue recently trying to differentiate between atomic and in-place updates. I ended up enabling debug logging for the DirectUpdateHandler2 class via Solr UI → Logging → Level options. Then the logs should print something like "DirectUpdateHandler2 updateDocValues" for an in-place update, or "DirectUpdateHandler2 updateDocument" for an atomic update.
Not sure if this applies to your setup, but in our case atomic updates were initially being used because we have a route.field defined and our Solr version did not yet have the fix for SOLR-13081 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13081>.
