Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-8298: ----------------------------------------- new patch with added javadocs, API cleanups and more tests > Allow DocValues updates to reset a value > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-8298 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8298 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 7.4, master (8.0) > Reporter: Simon Willnauer > Priority: Major > Fix For: 7.4, master (8.0) > > Attachments: LUCENE-8298.patch, LUCENE-8298.patch > > > Today once a document has a value in a certain DV field this values > can only be changed but not removed. While resetting / removing a value > from a field is certainly a corner case it can be used to undelete a > soft-deleted document unless it's merged away. > This allows to rollback changes without rolling back to another > commitpoint > or trashing all uncommitted changes. In certain cenarios it can be used to > "repair" history of documents in distributed systems. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
