Ryan McKinley commented on SOLR-139: ------------------------------------ > > ... avoid touching the less-modified/bigger fields ... > aaah, perhaps a future updateHandler getDocument() function could take a list of fields it should extract. Still problems with what to do when you add it.. maybe it checks if anything has changed in the less-modified index? I see your point. >> What are you thinking? Adding the processor as a parameter to >> AddUpdateCommand? > > I didn't have a clear alternative... I was just pointing out the future > pitfalls of assuming too much implementation knowledge. > I am fine either way -- in the UpdateHandler or the Processors. Request plumbing-wise, it feels the most natural in a processor. But if we rework the AddUpdateCommand it could fit there too. I don't know if it is an advantage or disadvantage to have the 'modify' parameters tied to the command or the parameters. either way has its +-, with no real winner (or loser) IMO In the end, I want to make sure that I never need a custom UpdateHandler (80% is greek to me), but can easily change the 'modify' logic. > Support updateable/modifiable documents > --------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-139 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-139 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: update > Reporter: Ryan McKinley > Assignee: Ryan McKinley > Attachments: SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, > SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, > SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, > SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, > SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, > SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, SOLR-139-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, > SOLR-139-ModifyInputDocuments.patch, SOLR-139-ModifyInputDocuments.patch, > SOLR-139-XmlUpdater.patch, > SOLR-269+139-ModifiableDocumentUpdateProcessor.patch > > > 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. > for background, see: > http://www.nabble.com/loading-many-documents-by-ID-tf3145666.html#a8722293 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
