Recently someone mentioned that it would be possible to have a 'replace
existing document' feature rather than just dropping and adding documents
with the same unique id. We have a few use cases in this area and I'm
researching whether it is effective to check for a document via Solr
queries, or whether it is worthwhile to add this to the Solr implementation.
Does anyone have an estimate for the difference between querying, day, 100
documents by unique ID from the network v.s. fetching them directly from the
index?
One use case is that we would like to use the index as our one database for
documents, and if we delete a document we want it to stay deleted. Thus we
would mark it deleted and check for its existence. Another use case is that
we are re-adding the same document a few times a day, and the commit times
are ballooning.
Where would I implement this?
Thanks,
Lance
