Technically, update and add are identical from a user perspective - you
don't need to worry about whether the document already exists.
But, there is another, newer form of update, "selective" or "atomic" which
is updating a subset of the fields in an existing document without needing
to re-send all of the other fields of the existing document.
See:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Atomic_Updates
But... none of this has to do with "indexing" vs. "reindexing"... you need
to be clear what real question you are trying to ask, otherwise we can
keeping following your questions, answering each in detail, bouncing all
over the place without understanding what it is that you are really looking
for.
More specifically, what exactly is the problem you are trying to solve?

Subject: Re: Difference Between Indexing and Reindexing
Hi Otis, then what is the difference between add and update? And how we
update or add documents into Solr (I see that there is just one update
handler)?

I don't recall what Nutch does, so it's hard to tell.
In Solr (Lucene, really), you can:
* add documents
* update documents
* delete documents
Currently, update is really a delete + readd under the hood. It's
been like that for 13+ years, but this may change:
