Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-5189:
------------------------------------
I wrote (somewhere, don't remember where) that I'd like to backport
issue-by-issue. So here I backport the changes done in this issue, after that
I'll backport 5215, 5216 and 5246. That way the commits to 4x will be
associated with the proper issues. Do you see a problem w/ that strategy? I
definitely intend to backport all the changes in one go, only do that in
multiple commits, one per issue.

> 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.
