> This is an UpdateRequestProcessor and Factory that we have been using in production, to handle 2 common cases that were awkward to achieve using the existing update pipeline and current processor classes:
> * When inserting document(s), if some already exist then quietly skip the new document inserts - do not churn the index by replacing the existing documents and do not throw a noisy exception that breaks the batch of inserts. By analogy with SQL, {{insert if not exists}}. In our use-case, multiple application instances can (rarely) process the same input so it's easier for us to de-dupe these at Solr insert time than to funnel them into a global ordered queue first.
> * When applying AtomicUpdate documents, if a document being updated does not exist, quietly do nothing - do not create a new partially-populated document and do not throw a noisy exception about missing required fields. By analogy with SQL, {{update where id = ..}}. Our use-case relies on this because we apply updates optimistically and have best-effort knowledge about what documents will exist, so it's easiest to skip the updates (in the same way a Database would).
> I would have kept this in our own package hierarchy but it relies on some package-scoped methods, and seems like it could be useful to others if they choose to configure it. Some bits of the code were borrowed from {{DocBasedVersionConstraintsProcessorFactory}}.
> Attached patch has unit tests to confirm the behaviour.
> This class can be used by configuring solrconfig.xml like so..
