I can certainly do: search for the unique key or combination of other fields, then put rest fields of this document plus new fields back to it.
I know this is not a too smart way, before I do that, is there any solr guru out there who can think of a better way? Thanks much, - Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Xiao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2008 9:32 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: add new fields to existing index Hi, We have a huge existing index (~40G), and we decided to add more fields on the top of it from a different source. Say, I have a index with UniqueKey, FieldA, FieldB, FieldC, I want to add FieldD to it, so I create a document with UniqueKey, FieldD and do a solr commit. By doing that is it going to affect already indexed FieldA, FieldB, FieldC? More general, if I have a index with UniqueKey, CommonField1, CommonField2, FieldA, FieldB, FieldC and I create a document with only CommonField1, CommonField2, FieldD (without the UniqueKey), is solr going to find and update the existing document? Thanks for helping. - Kevin
