-# $set
-
-The `$set` operator in Amazon DocumentDB is used to update the value of a specified field in a document. This operator allows you to add new fields or modify existing ones within a document. It is a fundamental update operator in the MongoDB Java driver, which is compatible with Amazon DocumentDB.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `field`: The field to update.
-
-  * `value`: The new value for the field.
-
-
-
-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-The following example demonstrates how to use the `$set` operator to update the `Item` field in a document.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.example.insert([
-      {
-        "Item": "Pen",
-        "Colors": ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "Black"],
-        "Inventory": {
-          "OnHand": 244,
-          "MinOnHand": 72
-        }
-      },
-      {
-        "Item": "Poster Paint",
-        "Colors": ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "White"],
-        "Inventory": {
-          "OnHand": 120,
-          "MinOnHand": 36
-        }
-      }
-    ])
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.example.update(
-      { "Item": "Pen" },
-      { $set: { "Item": "Gel Pen" } }
-    )
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    {
-      "Item": "Gel Pen",
-      "Colors": ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "Black"],
-      "Inventory": {
-        "OnHand": 244,
-        "MinOnHand": 72
-      }
-    }
