Nope, you're not missing anything, there's no way to alter a document in an
index but reindexing the whole document. Solr's architecture would make it
difficult (although never say impossible) to do otherwise. But you're right it
would be convenient for people other than you.

A followup. The wiki has a whole discussion of the 'update' XML
message. But solrj has nothing like it. Does that really exist? Is
there a reason to use it? If I just 'add' the document a second time,
it will replace?

Yes that's it if you add twice the same document (ie with the same id) it

This is a pretty low level issue with inverted indexes (i.e. the underlying
data structure used) and not so much the architecture. It is possible, I
suppose, to solve it at the architectural level, but in many cases this causes
performance problems that are not usually acceptable.

Exactly ... the title is "XML Messages for Updating a Solr Index"
But i do see some confusing usages of "add/update" in the context of
documents that definitely don't belong there -- so i've changed them to
"add/replace".
