Hi Highlight Shawn answer : " Solr does not have anything like the SQL syntax that lets you update all rows that match a WHERE clause."
In particular when adding a document to Solr, you are actually adding a new Document to the index ( under the hood) . The atomic update is only a user friendly way to send less information in the REST API request, but actually a simple update never happens. The id is used to retrieve the original document if present. The original fields stored are retrieved and the new document built accordingly with the user update. What you were expecting is not so immediate, also because you are not telling Solr anywhere which is the query to use to get the set of documents to update. Actually could be an improvement, but should be designed and implemented.
