updating documents while keeping unspecified fields

[Adeel Qureshi <ad...@gmail.com>]

What I am trying to do is to update a document information while keeping
data for the fields that arent being specified in the update.

So e.g. if this is the schema

<doc>
<field name="id">123</field>
<field name="title">some title</field>
<field name="status">active</field>
</doc>

if i send

<doc>
<field name="id">123</field>
<field name="status">closed</field>
</doc>

it should update the status to be closed for this document but not wipe out
title since it wasnt provided in the updated data. Is that possible by using
some flags or something ???

Thanks
Adeel

Hi Adeel,

As far as I know, this isn't possible yet, but some work is being done:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-139
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-828

Regards,

*Juan*
