[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (SOLR-3173) Database semantics - insert and update

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3173?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13218254#comment-13218254 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------

Impl thoughts:
* In solrconfig.xml turn this feature on by adding a tag <databaseSemantics> (probably to <updateHandler>). When this "flag" in not turned on "update"-requests work as always (add documents if not exist). With this "flag" turned on "update"-requests do not create a document if it does not already exist. Also when this "flag" is turned on "insert"-requests are suddenly also possible - they do as "update"-requets do today, except that they return DocumentAlreadyExist-error if document already exists.
* Proper concurrency handling
* Be carefull using this feature unless you are running with updateLog turned on (and therefore will never "lose" already accepted updates/deletes on crash)

> In order increase the ability of Solr to be used as a NoSql database (lots of concurrent inserts, updates, deletes and queries in the entire lifetime of the index) instead of just a search index (first: everything indexed (in one thread), after: only queries), I would like Solr to support the following features inspired by RDBMSs and other NoSql databases.
> * Given a solr-core with a schema containing a uniqueKey-field "uniqueField" and a document Dold, when trying to INSERT a new document Dnew where Dold.uniqueField is equal to Dnew.uniqueField, then I want a DocumentAlredyExists error. If no such document Dold exists I want Dnew indexed into the solr-core.
> * Given a solr-core with a schema containing a uniqueKey-field "uniqueField" and a document Dold, when trying to UPDATE a document Dnew where Dold.uniqueField is equal to Dnew.uniqueField I want Dold deleted from and Dnew added to the index (just as it is today).If no such document Dold exists I want nothing to happen (Dnew is not added to the index)
