Relative performance of updating documents of different sizes

[Jeff Leedy <le...@vtls.com>]

I was curious to know if anyone has any information about the relative
performance of document updates (delete/add operations) on documents
of different sizes. I have a use case in which I can either create
large Solr documents first and subsequently add a small amount of
information to them, or do the opposite (add the small doc first, then
update with the big one.) My guess is that adding smaller ones first
will be faster, since the time to delete a small document is
presumably longer than the time to delete a small one.

Thanks,
Jeff

Document size should not have any impact on deleting document as they are only 
marked for deletion.
