-----------------------------------

> So you are suggesting [...]
 
I don't have a concrete implementation idea, I'm just going over all the things 
I know people will want to do (and many of these I have an immediate use for).

> Do you mean as input or output?

Input, for index-only fields.  Normally field values need to be stored for an 
"update" to work, but we could also allow the user to get these field values 
from an external source.

> we would need a hook at the end.

Yes, it might make sense to have more than one callback method per 
UpdateRequestProcessor

Of course now that I finally look at the code, UpdateRequestProcessor isn't 
quite what I expected.
I was originally thinking more along the lines of DocumentMutator(s) that 
manipulate a document, not that actually initiate the add/delete/udpate calls.  
But there is a certain greater power to what you are exposing/allowing too (as 
long as you don't need multiple of them).

In UpdateRequestProcessor , instead of 
  protected final NamedList<Object> response;
Why not just expose SolrQueryRequest, SolrQueryResponse?

> It would be nice to be able to update some fields on a document without 
> having to insert the entire document.
> Given the way lucene is structured, (for now) one can only modify stored 
> fields.
> While we are at it, we can support incrementing an existing value - I think 
> this only makes sense for numbers.
