Renaud, You'll have to "update" the whole Document in order to change the value of one of its fields. The only way around that is to store all your fields, which would let you pull the Document from the index, update one of its fields, and add it back to the index.

I post my question anyway because I don't find any information about my problem, which is to update a stored but non-indexed field. For example, I have for each document a stored and non-indexed binary field 'pagerank', which is a float and which is used for computing the score of a document. As the document collection evolves, the pagerank for each document evolves also. Since the pagerank value is stored as a float (BinaryValue), I guess that the value size (in byte) is fixed in the field data (.fdt) file. Then, could it be possible to overwrite the old float value by a new float value ?
