I know this has been asked before, but I'd like to ask once more for peace of mind.
Is there a way to do single field inserts/updates without deleing and reinserting a document? If the answer is no, what exactly would be entailed in adding this functionality, or, better yet, is this planned for a future release of Lucene (2.0+)? Essentially, how heinous would it be to reach way into the guts of Lucene to make this a reality? Also, would this even be an efficient operation, or would it require an optimize operation to make searching perform well? Thanks for your patience (and understanding), Anthony Arnone
