             Summary: Option to have updateHandler and DIH skip updateLog
                 Key: SOLR-3954
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3954
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: update
    Affects Versions: 4.0
            Reporter: Shawn Heisey
             Fix For: 4.1


The updateLog feature makes updates take longer, likely because of the I/O time 
required to write the additional information to disk.  It may take as much as 
three times as long for the indexing portion of the process.  I'm not sure 
whether it affects the time to commit, but I would imagine that the difference 
there is small or zero.  When doing incremental updates/deletes on an existing 
index, the time lag is probably very small and unimportant.

When doing a full reindex (which may happen via DIH), especially if this is 
done in a build core that is then swapped with a live core, this performance 
hit is unacceptable.  It seems to make the import take about three times as 
long.

An option to have an update skip the updateLog would be very useful for these 
situations.  It should have a method in SolrJ and be exposed in DIH as well.
