Is is possible to update a single field in multiple documents through atomic updates, using a query instead of ID?
Here's my use case: I have a multivalued field called 'tags' and a text field called 'content'. User can define a pattern(regex) and name it, say my_pattern. Value 'my_pattern' should be added in 'tags' field in all the documents which have that pattern in 'content' field. Only way to do this is to get 'ID's of all the matched docs and send individual atomic updates like mentioned in https://wiki.apache.org/solr/Atomic_Updates <https://wiki.apache.org/solr/Atomic_Updates> But this will not scale when we have lots of matching documents. So is there a way to specify a *query* for atomic updates, something like: curl http://localhost:8983/solr/update -H 'Content-type:application/json' -d ' [{ "query" : "content:pattern", "tags" : {"add":"my_pattern"} }]' I am using Solr 4.8.1 in cloud mode.
