There are no plans to do this. It's essentially impossible, given (1) the reverse nature of text indexes and (2) Lucene's write-once segment architecture.

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?
