Hi, I would like to completely populate a field for all the documents in the index, without re-indexing the documents.
I know Solr supports 'Atomic Update', but this is no a real incremental update of a document: it costs as much as re-indexing the document (and require to store the document). As Solr does not support a real incremental update, I wondered if that would be easier to completely re-populate a field (i.e. easier than inserting/modifying in the middle of a field index). My use-case is the following: - I have an index with a bunch of documents. - A background process computes some additional metadata for the documents. It produces metadata in batch for all the documents. - These metadata are added in bulk to the existing index. Any ideas? Let me know if this is more a question for the dev list. Thanks, Marc
