Elasticsearch supports partial document updates: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-update.html
This might come in handy in cases where:
1) we know exactly what will change in the document
2) some fields are very expensive to generate (for instance with Tika)
It's a bit hard to say when condition #1 is reached right now, because:
* a bridge may not declare all the fields it can generate (for instance with dynamic mapping)
* multiple bridges may affect the same field
Maybe we can remove those grey areas in Hibernate Search 6.
Note: we may want to consider this feature for the Lucene integration, too. |
