There's no update-in-place, currently you _have_ to re-index the entire document.
But to the original question: There is a "limited join" capability you might investigate that would allow you to split up the textual data and metadata into two different documents and join them. I don't know how well it scales, but it may fit your needs. It turns out that update-in-place is more than a bit difficult given the nature of the inverted index. There are some proposals for addressing this, but nothing has gotten beyond the design stage as far as I know.
