Impossible to say if for no other reason than you haven't told us
how many physical machines this is spread over ;).

For the process you've outlined to work, all the fields are stored,
right? So why not use Atomic Updates? You still have to query
the docs.

About querying. If I'm reading this right, you'll form some query
like q=whatever_identifies_docs_that_should_get_values_X_Y_Z
then process each one of those. So, really, all you need here is
the id of all the queries that satisfy that clause. You should
consider the /export handler (Streaming Aggregation). It's
designed to return large result sets with minimal memory.

So the process I'm thinking of is this (and it assumes all your
fields are stored so Atomic updates work).

Use the CloudSolrStream for each query. As the stream
comes back, you get the IDs you need and use them
to do an atomic update that adds the relevant fields.

Note that when _adding_ fields, you can change the schema
to include the new fields on an existing collection. All that
means is that any new docs added can have these fields.

Now, if all the fields are _not_ stored at least once, you can't
use atomic updates and you'll have to re-index from the system
of record.

Best,
Erick
