Summary: Allow DocValues updates to reset a value Key: LUCENE-8298 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8298 Project: Lucene - Core Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 7.4, master (8.0) Reporter: Simon Willnauer Fix For: 7.4, master (8.0) Today once a document has a value in a certain DV field this values can only be changed but not removed. While resetting / removing a value from a field is certainly a corner case it can be used to undelete a soft-deleted document unless it's merged away. This allows to rollback changes without rolling back to another commitpoint or trashing all uncommitted changes. In certain cenarios it can be used to "repair" history of documents in distributed systems. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
