Re[2]: Update doc boost and field boost w/o reposting?

[Jack L <jl...@yahoo.ca>]

Hello Ryan,

Interesting. So it's solr only and does not require new Lucene
functionality? I think storing the fields that may change in
the future is ok.

Yes, it is only solr - and will have a normal HTTP interface, no lucene.

But as i said, the catch is that *all* fields must be stored, not only
the ones you want to change.  Solr will pull the document out of the
index, modify it and put it back - it can only pull out stored fields
so you must store everything...
