Hi Markus, Thanks for the quick and thorough answer. I did read that all the fields need to be stored for that yes, so i agree that in many cases this is not really the preferred solution. I am thinking about setting up a separate core in Solr with only a handful of fields and even less fields which would need the update/add to multivalue functionality. But you have given me food for thought ... i will sleep on it a little and see in the morning if there are possibly other ways to get to what i have in mind or to invest some time to implement and test.
