Folks:
In our app we index approx 50 M documents every so often. One of the fields
in each document is called "CompScore" which is a score that our back-end
computes for each document. The computation of this score is heavy-weight
and is done only approximately once every few days. When documents are
retrieved during a search we return results sorted by the Solr score first
and then the CompScore.
The issue we have this: Every week or so when the back-end routines run to
compute "CompScore" we need to delete and insert these 50 M documents into
the index. This happens even though the a majority of the documents have
not changed.
I think there is no way in Solr to simply update a field in the index.
If others have encountered a similar issue, I'd be interested in hearing
about their solutions!
Best,
- Bill
