Per Steffensen commented on SOLR-3173:
--------------------------------------
Impl thoughts:
* In solrconfig.xml turn this feature on by added a tag <databaseSemantics>
(probably to <updateHandler>). When this "flag" in not turned on
"update"-requests work as always (creates if not exists). With this "flag"
turned on "update"-requests does not create a document if it does not already
exist. Also when this "flag" is turned on "insert"-requests are suddenly also
possible - they do as "update"-requets does today, except that they return
DocumentAlreadyExist-error if document already exists.
* Proper concurrency handling
* Be carefull using this feature unless you are running with updateLog turned
on (and therefore will never "lose" already accepted updates/deletes on crash)

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: update
> Affects Versions: 3.5
> Environment: All

> In order increase the ability of Solr to be used as a NoSql database (lots of
> concurrent inserts, updates, deletes and queries in the entire lifetime of
> the index) instead of just a search index (first: everything indexed (in one
> thread), after: only queries), I would like Solr to support the following
> features inspired by RDBMSs and other NoSql databases.
> * Given a solr-core with a schema containing a uniqueKey-field "uniqueField"
> and a document Dold, when trying to INSERT a new document Dnew where
> Dold.uniqueField is equal to Dnew.uniqueField, then I want a
> DocumentAlredyExists error. If no such document Dold exists I want Dnew
> indexed into the solr-core.
> * Given a solr-core with a schema containing a uniqueKey-field "uniqueField"

> Dold.uniqueField is equal to Dnew.uniqueField I want Dold deleted from and
> Dnew added to the index (just as it is today).If no such document Dold exists
> I want nothing to happen (Dnew is not added to the index)
