bool default - if missing when "updating" uses current or default value?

[regany <re...@newzealand.co.nz>]

hello,

if I have a booleen fieldType (solr.BoolField) with a default value of
"true", and I insert a new document I understand that the booleen value will
be set to TRUE.

But if I update an existing document, and I don't pass in a value for the
booleen field, will Solr keep the existing booleen value unchanged, or will
it update the booleen value again using the default? - ie. true.

?

Updating a document is very simplistic -- it removes the old one (by id) 
and then adds the new version -- it will have no "memory" of values from 
the old version of the document.
