Adding to an existing document

[Toby Tremayne <To...@lonelyplanet.com.au>]

Hi all,

      I have an index which contains information from a forum database

 

- one document per thread, containing all messages in a big text field.  If
I wanted to add a new message string to and existing thread, is there some
way I can append it to the document?

 

cheers,

Toby

In Lucene, the only way to modify a document is to delete it and replace it
with the new version.  Given that you are working with discussion threads,
you might instead consider adding fields for thread ID and thread serial
number to each article. You could then append to threads, view entire
threads in order or delete threads as you wish using Lucene's APIs.
