[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-7659) IndexWriter should expose field
names
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7659?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15837862#comment-15837862 ]
Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-7659:
--------------------------------------
It should not be necessary to know the list of the current field names. If I understand the Solr issue correctly, your use-case is to check whether an update can be applied using dv-updates only, or whether it requires an regular update. Do I get it right? If I do then maybe a better way to address this use-case would be to either try the dv-only update and fallback to a regular update if it failed (which should be fine since dv updates are atomic), or change the semantics of dv updates to create fields if they did not exist already (then the only thing the Solr code should check is whether any of the fields is already used for index sorting)? Note that I am not very familiar with {{IndexWriter}}, hopefully others can comment about whether that makes any sense.

> While working on SOLR-5944, I needed a way to know whether applying an update to a DV is possible (i.e. the DV exists or not), while deciding upon whether or not to apply the update as an in-place update or a regular full document update. This information is present at the IndexWriter in a FieldInfos instance, and can be exposed.
