hi all,
i have an existing index - we have a custom field that needs to be added
or changed in every currently indexed document ;
whats the best way to go about this without recreating the index again?
There are ways to do it directly on the index, but this is complicated
and involves hacking the low-level Lucene format. Alternatively, you
could build a parallel index with just these fields, but synchronized
internal docId-s, open both indexes with ParallelReader, and then create
a new index using IndexWriter.addIndexes().
I suggest recreating the index.
