: Sounds like there's nothing "out of the box" to solve my problem; if : I write something to update lucene indexes in place I'll follow up : about it in here (don't know that I will though; building a new, : narrower index is probably more expedient and will probably be fast : enough for my purposes in this case).
i suspect the main reason why no one has ever submitted a patch for doing this (replacing stored values of documents) is precisely this reason -- as long as you have some unique identifier in each doc, it's really easy to call out to some seperate data store to get additional stored values for a set of docs once you've gotten them from Lucene. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
