From: Peter Carlson To: "Lucene Developers List" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <8776C112-C5CD-11D6-9F4B-003065AB94BC@bookandhammer.com> X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.543) X-Spam-Rating: daedalus.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N X-Spam-Rating: daedalus.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N Hi, I have been using Lucene for a while now and work around the issue of updating the fields in a document by deleting and then adding. I was wondering if someone could tell me from an architectural point of view why this is required and what advantages does it have. Also, how much work / benefit would there be to change it? Just to increase my understanding. I looked in the mail-archive but didn't find anything. If there is something just point the way.
