: Hi, is it possible to have "append" like updates, where if two records of
there is an open Jira issue to deal with the notion of "updating" docs in
place, but i think the people who were working on it the most have put it
somewhat on hold to focus more on the MultiCore and distributed search
stuff...
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-139
FWIW: even if that issue was resovled and commited, i don't know that i
wouldd use it in your use case ... the goal there is to allow people to
modify Solr docs by requiring that everything be stored (which
increases index size in most cases) ... your problem description doesn't
suggest that you really need to "modify" documents long after they have
been indexed, just that you wnat to split up some of the data
fetching/preperation before indexing the documents -- this seems like a
simple enough client side issue. building up your data objects in
parallel threads, merging them and then indexing them seems likethe most
straightforward approach to your problem.
