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

> how about using <update> instead of <add>

We had previously talked about making this distinction (and configuration for 
each field) in the URL:
http://localhost:8983/solr/update?mode=title:overwrite,cat:distinct
This makes it usable and consistent for different update handlers and formats 
(CSV, future SQL, future JSON, etc)

but perhaps if we allowed the <add> tag to optionally be called something more 
neutral like <docs>?

wrt patches, I think the functionality needs refactoring so that modify 
document logic is in the update handler.  It seems like it's the only clean way 
from a locking perspective, and it also leaves open future optimizations (like 
using different indices depending on the fieldname and using a parallel reader 
across them).

> 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.
