The problem is how you implement that method to push changes down to the inverted index, which has written postings for this field and document ID to several files already. You would probably need some sort of approach that can delete the old docID, from just this one field, and then add new postings for that same docID, written to separate files also against the original segment that holds that docID. I think this is the tricky part :)
