Sivan Yogev commented on LUCENE-4258:
-------------------------------------
Seems like in any case we need to have a separation between fields given with
UPDATE_FIELD and REPLACE_FIELD. There are two ways I could think of for
implementing this separation.
The first is at the segment level, where we can have separate "update" and
"replace" segments, where the semantic is that a field in an "update" segment
is merged with fields in previous segments, while a field in a "replace"
segment ignores previous segments.
The second option is to separate at the field level, choosing one type as the
default behavior (maybe this can be configurable) and marking the fields of the
non-default type by altering the field name or some other solution.
I lean towards the segment level separation, since it requires less conventions
and will probably require less work for Codec implementations to handle.
