David Smiley commented on SOLR-2113:
------------------------------------

It appears what I understood to be "idempotent" is different then the meaning 
here.  I looked this word up in 
[wikipedia|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence#Computer_science_meaning] 
and it appears in the context of computer science that it has two separate 
meanings.  One meaning has more to do with side-effects, which is the meaning 
I've always attached to the word. It comes up a lot when talking about 
thread-safe code.  The other meaning associated with functional programming is 
the meaning intended by Yonik & Rob here -- a meaning I don't think I would 
ever put to use.  It's unfortunate that this word is ambiguous... since it's 
very useful to use it to say that a method on a class always has the same 
result for the same input, _without_ saying you can give the output back to the 
input again and also get the same result.
