I haven't heard any mention of it, but it seems like a reasonable
enhancement.
There have been cases where people want to do things like add a new value to
every document.
I'll have to check into how easy it is to perform a query from an update
processor.

Thanks Jack.
I currently have written down a script which does that - effectively
retrieving all those documents and updating them one by one, atomically.
But I was hoping Solr does a more efficient implementation internally.
Is there any thinking about implementing such feature in future?

You can update a full document or do a partial update of a single document
based on its unique key, and you can update a batch of documents using
those two techniques.
You probably could implement custom code to do it.
Maybe even using a script update processor.
Or, just do it all in client code.
The latter would probably be the most straight forward.
A script update processor might actually be semi-reasonable as well, but
you're going to have to get down and dirty to do it.

Hi folks,
I am trying to update multiple fields (assume q=id:*) and add a filed to
all of them. Is this possible?
If yes, what would be the syntax?
I am using the json update interface - /update/json ...
Thanks,
Siamak
