Ryan McKinley commented on SOLR-139: ------------------------------------ that is part of why i thought having it in an update request processor makes sense -- it can easily be subclassed to pull the existing fields from whereever it needs. Even if it is directly in the UpdateHandler, there could be some interface to _loadExistingFields( id )_ or something similar. > Support updateable/modifiable documents > --------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-139 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-139 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: update > Reporter: Ryan McKinley > Assignee: Ryan McKinley > Fix For: 1.3 > > Attachments: Eriks-ModifiableDocument.patch, > Eriks-ModifiableDocument.patch, Eriks-ModifiableDocument.patch, > Eriks-ModifiableDocument.patch, Eriks-ModifiableDocument.patch, > 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.
