Erik Hatcher commented on SOLR-139: ----------------------------------- I'm experimenting with this patch with tagging. I'm modeling the fields in this way, beyond general document metadata fields: <username>_tags usernames And copyFielding *_tags into "tags". usernames field allows seeing all users who have tagged documents. Users are allowed to "uncollect" an object, which would remove the <username>_tags field and remove their name from the usernames field. Removing the <username>_tags field use case is covered with the <username>_tags:OVERWRITE mode. But removing a username from the multiValued and non-duplicating usernames field is not. An example (from some conversations with Ryan): id: 10 usernames: ryan, erik You want to be able to remove 'ryan' but keep 'erik'. Perhaps we need to add a 'REMOVE' mode to remove the first (all?) matching values /update?mode=OVERWRITE,username=REMOVE <doc> id=10, usernames=ryan </doc> and make the output: id: 10 usernames: erik But what about duplicate values? > 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: getStoredFields.patch, getStoredFields.patch, > getStoredFields.patch, getStoredFields.patch, getStoredFields.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-IndexDocumentCommand.patch, SOLR-139-ModifyInputDocuments.patch, > SOLR-139-ModifyInputDocuments.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.
