Lucene does not have any way to modify existing fields, so solr can't do it either... (document boosts are stored as part of the field)
In http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-139, I'm working on a convenience function to let the client modify an existing solr document - the one catch is that all fields must be stored so they can be extracted and re-indexed on the server side. This may not help your performance concern, but it may be easier to deal with. ryan On 3/31/07, Jack L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I understand that I'm supposed to delete the old record and re-post in order to update a document. But in many cases, it takes time to extract data (from a database, etc.) and all I want to change is the document boost. I wonder if it's possible to adjust the document boost without deleting and re-posting a whole document? -- Best regards, Jack
