David Smiley commented on SOLR-139:
-----------------------------------
Ryan, I know of course the index can get big because one needs to store all the
data for re-indexing; but due to Lucene's fundamental limitations, we can't get
around that fact. Moving the data off to another place (a DB of some sort or
whatever) doesn't change the fundamental problem. If one is unwilling to store
a copy somewhere convenient due to data scalability issues then we simply
cannot support the feature because Lucene doesn't have an underlying update
capability.
If the schema's field isn't stored, then it may be useful to provide an API
that can fetch un-stored fields for a given document. I don't think it'd be
common to use the API and definitely wouldn't be worth providing a default
implementation.

> 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.
