I'll focus on performance first because I think that we should give a good
solution for DOCS_ONLY type of fields.

I dont know about this.
To me its not a case of "progress not perfection". I don't see the design for
LUCENE-4258 scaling beyond DOCS_ONLY + OMIT_NORMS fields.

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Robert Muir
>
> I've been reviewing the ideas for updatable fields and have an alternative
> proposal that I think would address my biggest concern:
> * not slowing down searching
> When I look at what Solr and Elasticsearch do here, by basically reindexing
> from stored fields, I think they solve a lot of the problem: users don't have
> to "rebuild" their document from scratch just to update one tiny piece.
> But I think we can do this more efficiently: by avoiding reindexing of the
> unaffected fields.
> The basic idea is that we would require term vectors for this approach (as
> the already store a serialized indexed version of the doc), and so we could
> just take the other pieces from the existing vectors for the doc.
> I think we would have to extend vectors to also store the norm (so we dont
> recompute that), and payloads, but it seems feasible at a glance.
> I dont think we should discard the idea because vectors are slow/big today,
> this seems like something we could fix.
> Personally I like the idea of not slowing down search performance to solve
> the problem, I think we should really start from that angle and work towards
> making the indexing side more efficient, not vice-versa.
