Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-5189:
------------------------------------
I don't understand - why can't it live in 4x and be tested by Jenkins as well
as users? DocValues went through two releases before they were overhauled, I
don't see how this issue is different. It baked in trunk for 2+ weeks, I think
it can bake in the 4x branch as well (I believe we have enough time until 4.6
will be released?). Optimizations, which are important, can come next as
improvements. For instance, we don't know yet if the data structures used
(Maps!) are inefficient, because nobody uses this feature yet - maybe we'll
spend a lot of time optimizing while in practice it won't make a big
difference? I think that as long as this feature does not affect anyone who
doesn't use numeric DV updates, it's safe to backport.

> 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.
