Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-351:
-----------------------------------

> a lot of questions about what to do when newSearchers are opened
Yeah, it's not actually getValueSource() where one would normally want the 
request... ValueSource is like a Query - relatively independent of context.  
getValues(IndexReader reader) is where you normally want it.. but there are 
layers of Lucene in between that know nothing of Solr.


> external value source

> Need a way to rapidly do a bulk update of a single field for use as a 
> component in a function query (no need to be able to search on it).
> Idea: create an ExternalValueSource fieldType that reads it's values from a 
> file.  The file could be simple id,val records, and stored in the index 
> directory so it would get replicated.  
> Values could optionally be updated more often than the searcher 
> (hashCode/equals should take this into account to prevent caching issues).
