@renato2099: Unfortunately I don't know enough about Accumulo to know if
there may be a better way. But I think this issue needs to be fixed because it
causes data loss in unrelated fields.
Depending on the use case it might also make sense to disable this
clear-before-update behavior, maybe even on a field-by-field basis. For example
in Nutch 2, inlinks to a web page are store as a map (key: URL, value: anchor
text). In this scenario it would be nice to be able to just add one more KV
pair to the map without having to fetch, update and store the entire map.
