Alexandre Rafalovitch commented on SOLR-6034:
---------------------------------------------

I don't think this issue is a DataImportHandler component. Though I am not sure 
which component this should be.

> Use a wildcard in order to delete fields with Atomic Update

>                 Key: SOLR-6034
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6034
>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: contrib - DataImportHandler
>    Affects Versions: 4.7
>            Reporter: Constantin Muraru

> As discussed on the SOLR user group, it would a great feature to be able to 
> remove all fields matching a pattern, using Atomic Updates.
> Example:
> <add><doc>
>   <field name="id">100</field>
>   <field name="*_day_i" update="set" null="true"></field>
> </doc></add>
> The *_day_i should be expanded server-side and all fields matching this 
> pattern should be removed from the specified document.
> Workaround: When removing fields from a document, we can make a query to SOLR 
> from the client, in order to see what fields are actually present for the 
> specific document. After that, we can create the XML update document to be 
> sent to SOLR. However, this is going to increase the number of queries to 
> SOLR and for large amount of documents this is going to weigh pretty much. It 
> would be great performance-wise and simplicity-wise to be able to provide 
> wildcards.
