Hi Andrzej Bialecki
When you suggested -
"There are some other low-level ways to do this, but the easiest is to
use a FilterIndexReader, especially since you just want to add a
stored
field - implement a subclass of FilterIndexReader that adds a new
field
in getFieldNames() and document(int). Then use
IndexWriter.addIndexes(IndexReader[]) to create the output index."
I believe you assumed that all the existing fields are stored. I have a few
fields which are only indexed, not stored. Is there a way to add a new
Field(stored, not indexed) to document in such an index, without reindexing
the whole index.
Any suggestions will be very helpful!
Thank you
Naveen Kumar
