Andrzej Bialecki  commented on SOLR-139:
----------------------------------------

It's possible to recover unstored fields, if the purpose of such recovery is to 
make a copy of the document and update other fields. The process is 
time-consuming, because you need to traverse all postings for all terms, so it 
might be impractical for larger indexes. Furthermore, such recovered content 
may be incomplete - tokens may have been changed or skipped/added by analyzers, 
positionIncrement gaps may have been introduced, etc, etc.

Most of this functionality is implemented in Luke "Restore & Edit" function. 
Perhaps it's possible to implement a new low-level Lucene API to do it more 
efficiently.

> 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.
