Hello, 

are there any general criteria when to use Analyzers to implement an indexing 
function and when it is better to use UpdateRequestProcessors? 

The main difference I found in the documentation was that 
UpdateRequestProcessors are able to manipulate several fields at once (create, 
read, update, delete), while Analyzers operate on the contents of a single 
field at once. 

Is that correct so far? Are there more experiences helping to decide which type 
of module to use implementing indexing modules? Are there differences in 
processing performance? Is one of the two APIs easier to learn/debug etc?

If you have any Best Practices with that I would be very interested to hear 
about those.

P.S. My experience with Search Engines is mainly with FAST where one uses 
Stages in a Pipeline no matter which feature to implement.
