Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-4258:
------------------------------------

bq. can only update individual terms, but not fields

Who said that? One of the update operations I listed is REPLACE_FIELD, which 
means replace the field's content entirely with the new content.

bq. I don't think its progress if we add a design that can only work with 
omitTFAP and no norms

I never said that will be the design. What I said is that in order to update a 
field at the term level, we'll start with such fields only. The rest of the 
fields (i.e. w/ norms, payloads and what not) will be updated through 
REPLACE_FIELD. The way I see it, we still address all the issues, only for some 
fields we require a whole field replace, and not an optimized term-based 
update. That can be improved further along, or not.

bq. In fact this issue shouldnt be called incremental field updates: its not. 
its "term updates" or something else entirely different.

That is my idea of incremental field updates and I'm not sure that it's not 
your idea as well :). You seem to only want to support REPLACE_FIELD, while I 
say that for some field types we can support UPDATE_FIELD (i.e. at the term 
level), that's it !
