Mikhail Khludnev commented on LUCENE-5189:
------------------------------------------
Giving that LUCENE-8585, LUCENE-8374 optimizes for absent values, shouldn't we
have an IW method to nuke DV at certain docs?

> In LUCENE-4258 we started to work on incremental field updates, however the
> amount of changes are immense and hard to follow/consume. The reason is that
> we targeted postings, stored fields, DV etc., all from the get go.
> I'd like to start afresh here, with numeric-dv-field updates only. There are
> a couple of reasons to that:
> * NumericDV fields should be easier to update, if e.g. we write all the
> values of all the documents in a segment for the updated field (similar to
> how livedocs work, and previously norms).
> * It's a fairly contained issue, attempting to handle just one data type to
> update, yet requires many changes to core code which will also be useful for
> updating other data types.
> * It has value in and on itself, and we don't need to allow updating all the
> data types in Lucene at once ... we can do that gradually.
> I have some working patch already which I'll upload next, explaining the
> changes.
