Is there a way to update a doc to remove a specific value from a
multi-value field (in my case remove a role)
I manage to do that by querying the doc and reading all the other values
"manually" then saving, but that has the same issues and is inefficient.

Sorry for the lengthy text, it's a bit difficult to explain:
We are using Solr to index some user info like username, email (among
other things).
I'm also trying to use facets for search, so for example, I added a
multi-value field to user called "organizations" where I would store
the name of the organizations that user work for.
So i can use that field for facetted search and be able to filter a
user search query result by the organizations this user work for.
So now, the issue I have is my code does something like: 1) Add users
documents to Solr 2) When a user is assigned an organization
membership(role), update the user doc to set the organizations field
Now I have the following issue with step 2: If I just do a
addField("organizations", "BigCorp") on the user doc, it will add that
value regardless if organizations already have that value("BigCorp")
or not, but I want each org name to appear only once.
So only way I found to get that behavior is to query the user
document, get the values of "organization" and only add the new value
if it's not already in there - if
!userDoc.getValues("organiations").contains(value) {... add the value
to the doc and save it ...}-
Now that works well, but only if I commit all the time(between step 1
& 2 at least), because the document query will not work unless it has
been committed already. Obviously in theory its best not to commit all
the time performance-wise, and unpractical since I process those
inserts in batches.
*So I guess the main issue would be:*

Is there a way to update a multi-value field, without allowing
duplicates, that would not require querying the doc to manually
prevent duplicates ?
*
Maybe some better way to do this ?
Thanks.
