Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-139:
-----------------------------------

> 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.

+1

> Perhaps a "text" field that could be optionally set by the client, and is 
> also the destination of copyField's of title, author, etc.

Seems like things of this form can always be refactored by adding a field 
"settableText" and adding another copyField from that to "text"

> Support updateable/modifiable documents

> 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.
