That sounds like quite a job in Lucene... one thing for a stored field, but quite another for indexed fields. Even if you could update things like TermDocs, you don't know what terms are currently pointing to your document. I personally don't see an easy (or remotely practical) way. The easiest way I can think of to get that effect is to store all the fields so you can re-create the Document and change the field being updated. -Yonik
