Hi Erik, That's pretty straightforward to implement. I did it for our site search platform to ease on transport costs, Lucene analysis and I/O in general. But it was quite useless when i found out i didn't read the docs that well and had to mark every field as stored. Solr needs every field to be stored so it can reinsert the document with only the updated fields.
This means we would have to store a lot of data in Lucene that we don't have to now. Saving on transport and other things, in our case, didn't justify storing every field. You may want to reconsider doing partial updates. But if you still need them and are capable with Java, SolrJ and Nutch' SolrWriter, you can make it happen in a few hours.

There was a request from Julien to add this to JIRA but i cannot seem to find it. Does anybody know if this ever end up in JIRA, via the original poster or otherwise? And as a second question, since i am investigating the possibilities, is the Solr partial update functionality something to be used by/added to Nutch? Thanks in advance for any guidance :) With best regards, Erik Rombouts
