Erik Hatcher commented on SOLR-139: ----------------------------------- A mistake I had was my copyField target ("tag") was stored. Setting it to be unstored alleviated the need to overwrite it - thanks! One thing I noticed is that all fields sent in the update must be stored, but that doesn't really need to be the case with fields being overwritten - perhaps that restriction should be lifted and only applies when the stored data is needed. As for sending in a field that was the target of a copyField - I'm not doing this nor can I really envision this case, but it seemed like it might be a case to consider here. Perhaps a "text" field that could be optionally set by the client, and is also the destination of copyField's of title, author, etc. > Support updateable/modifiable documents > --------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-139 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-139 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: update > Reporter: Ryan McKinley > Assignee: Ryan McKinley > Attachments: getStoredFields.patch, getStoredFields.patch, > getStoredFields.patch, getStoredFields.patch, getStoredFields.patch, > SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, > SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, > SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, > SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, > SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, > SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, SOLR-139-ModifyInputDocuments.patch, > SOLR-139-ModifyInputDocuments.patch, SOLR-139-ModifyInputDocuments.patch, > SOLR-139-ModifyInputDocuments.patch, SOLR-139-XmlUpdater.patch, > SOLR-269+139-ModifiableDocumentUpdateProcessor.patch > > > It would be nice to be able to update some fields on a document without > having to insert the entire document. > Given the way lucene is structured, (for now) one can only modify stored > fields. > While we are at it, we can support incrementing an existing value - I think > this only makes sense for numbers. > for background, see: > http://www.nabble.com/loading-many-documents-by-ID-tf3145666.html#a8722293 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
