Re: Partial updates?

An ability to update would be extremely useful for us. Different parts of
records sometimes come from different databases, and being able to update
after creation of the Solr index would be extremely useful.

I've made some processes that reads a record and adds a new field to it. The
most awkward thing is when there's been a CopyField, when the record is read
and re-saved, the copied field causes CopyField to be invoked again.

RE: Partial updates?

[Brandon Ramirez <Br...@elementk.com>]

I would love to see this too.  Most of our data comes from a relational database, but there are some files on the file system related to our products that may need to be indexed.  The files have different change control / life cycle, so I can't be sure that our application will know when this data  changes, so a recurring background re-index job would be helpful.  Having to go to the database to get 99% of the data (which didn't change anyway) to send along with the 1% from the file system is a big limitation.

This also prevents the use of DIH.
