document field indexing

[john smith <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi
 Lets say we have a single lucene document that has two text fields: 
field1 and field2.
 Data kept in field1 is a long string that changes rarely. It takes some 
time to index it.
 Data kept in field2 is a short string and changes often.
 
 Is it possible to update (reindex) document field2 without reindexing 
the whole document  ?
 
Regards
John

No. One of the most frequent requests is update-in-place,
but if you search the mail archive you'll find the reasons why it's
not going to happen.
