Shai Erera updated LUCENE-5189:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-5189.patch

I've been busy hunting down concurrency bugs and making field updates work with 
index sorting (thought it will be an easy nocommit to handle... boy, I was 
wrong!). Patch adds field updates to TestSortingMP as well as improves 
TestNumericDVUpdates.testSegmentMerges to stress that more.

There are some {{nocommit (RENAME)}} which I'd love to get some feedback on. 
Also there are two standing out nocommits around FieldInfos.gen and an 
optimization to SegmentCoreReaders/SegmentReader around reusing DVProducers of 
update gens. I think these two can be handled in separate issues, just to get 
this issue focused.

I'd like to commit this to trunk, so that I can move on to the other issues. 
Therefore I'd appreciate some review on the patch.

> In LUCENE-4258 we started to work on incremental field updates, however the 
> amount of changes are immense and hard to follow/consume. The reason is that 
> we targeted postings, stored fields, DV etc., all from the get go.
> I'd like to start afresh here, with numeric-dv-field updates only. There are 
> a couple of reasons to that:
> * NumericDV fields should be easier to update, if e.g. we write all the 
> values of all the documents in a segment for the updated field (similar to 
> how livedocs work, and previously norms).
> * It's a fairly contained issue, attempting to handle just one data type to 
> update, yet requires many changes to core code which will also be useful for 
> updating other data types.
> * It has value in and on itself, and we don't need to allow updating all the 
> data types in Lucene at once ... we can do that gradually.
> I have some working patch already which I'll upload next, explaining the 
> changes.
