Block join is a very specialized feature of Solr - it requires that creation
and update of the parent and all children be done as a single update
operation for all of the documents. So... you cannot update a child document
by itself, but need to update the entire block.
Unfortunately, this limitation does not appear to be documented in the Solr
ref guide.

Subject: Does updating a child document destroy the parent - child
relationship
When I edit a child document, a block join query for the parent no longer
returns any hits. I thought I read that this was the way things worked but
needed to know for sure.
If so, is there any other way to achieve this functionality (I can deal
with creating the child doc with the parent, but would like to edit it
separately).
My rough prototype code is at
https://github.com/balamuru/SolrChildDocs
and the code in question is commented out in
https://github.com/balamuru/SolrChildDocs/blob/master/src/main/java/com/vgb/solr/SolrApp.java
Thanks
