Re: partial updating of lucene

[Praveen Peddi]

If I store all the fields I am indexing, is it safe to get the document, 
update a fields and add it again to the search index? I do not want to lose 
anything and I want to make sure that document is same before and after 
updating (execpt for the updated fields).

First solution is not possible (I can't create a new document) since I 
only have modified fields.

When I get a document, doesn't the fields have indexed terms along with 
it? Is there no way to get a full document (along with indexed terms) and 
clone it and add it to the index?

Well is there anyway I ca update a document with just one field (because 
I only have data for that one field)?
A Document only carries along its *stored* fields.  Fields that are 
indexed, but not stored, are not retrievable from Document.

Have a look at the tool Luke (Google for "luke lucene" :) and see how it 
does its "Reconstruct and Edit" facility.  It is possible, though 
potentially lossy, to reconstruct a document and add it again.
