What you say IS complex. Sharing? Bleargh. But everyone digs "update qweqwe set field=value where some_condition". Who ever said that some_condition should point to a unique document? It could, if you wish it so. Or you can do bulk updates if that's what you need. Very flexible and no need to introduce any new concepts. -- Kirill Zakharenko/Кирилл Захаренко (ear...@gmail.com) Home / Mobile: +7 (495) 683-567-4 / +7 (903) 5-888-423 ICQ: 104465785 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
