It has come up before as a nice feature to have, but isn't in Solr right
now.
I'd say go ahead and file a Jira for a new feature.

Subject: Update by query?
Quick check to see if Solr supports an update-by-query feature or if
anyone has thought about something like this ... similar to
delete-by-query
My specific use case is a metadata field needs to be updated for N
docs where N > 1 and the set can easily be identified by a query.
Currently, I have to pull them all back and update, which works but is
concerning when N is very large.
I checked JIRA and didn't see mention of this but might have missed it.
Cheers,
Tim
