Thanks Erik. Is the field update is too difficult task in lucene? I expect this feature also in lucene, in near future.

No, Lucene doesn't support just updating a field in a document. You must delete/re-add it as you suppose. And you are correct, the UpdateDocument feature just conceals the underlying delete/add functionality, it's not update-in-place.
