Do you have to "reindex"? Are you meaning an optimize operation? You can do an "update" by just sending Solr a new record, and letting Solr deal with the removing and adding of the data.
You can just query Solr, find the records that you want (including all the website data). Update them, and then send the entire record back. Or am I missing something? Are these documents so huge that you don't want to pull back an entire record for some reason?
