This was mainly very wishful thinking on my part :)
Sadly, I'm still far from an expert on the low-level Lucene
internals, so I'm only waving my hands at a high-level here.
Storing all fields is not a practical solution, at least in many
situations. So the GData update is quite a tricky one then.

So to turn it around to ask you a question, what would it take to
allow a Lucene document to be "updatable" at the field granularity,
such that no other fields need to be specified again?
That sounds like quite a job in Lucene... one thing for a stored
field, but quite another for indexed fields. Even if you could
update things like TermDocs, you don't know what terms are currently
pointing to your document. I personally don't see an easy (or
remotely practical) way.
The easiest way I can think of to get that effect is to store all the
fields so you can re-create the Document and change the field being
updated.
