Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-8200: -------------------------------------------- +1, patch looks great; I left a minor comment on the github commit. Amazing how little code the change requires, and it's a nice approach for soft deletes. > Allow doc-values to be updated atomically together with a document > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-8200 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8200 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 7.4, master (8.0) > Reporter: Simon Willnauer > Assignee: Simon Willnauer > Priority: Major > Attachments: LUCENE-8200.patch > > > Today we can only update a document by deleting all previously indexed > documents for the given term. In some cases like when deletes are not `final` > in the way that documents that are marked as deleted should not be merged > away a `soft-delete` is needed which is possible when doc-values updates can > be done atomically just like delete and add in updateDocument(s) > > This change introduces such a soft update that reuses all code paths from > deletes to update all previously updated documents for a given term instead > of marking it as deleted.
