entity in DIH for partial update?

[matthew sporleder <ms...@gmail.com>]

I have an field I would like to add to my schema which is stored in a
different database from my primary data.  Can I use a separate entity
in my DIH to update a single field of my documents?

Thanks,
Matt

Do you mean something along the lines of this (hackish?)

You could use atomic updates in DIH. However, there is a bug in current/potentially also old Solr version that this leaks a searcher (which means the index data is infinitely growing until you restart the server). 
You can also export from the database to Jsonline, post it to the json update handler together with the atomic processor.
