Every update request received by Solr is run through a chain of plugins known as Update Request Processors, or __URPs__. This can be useful, for example, to add a field to the document being indexed; to change the value of a particular field; or to drop an update if the incoming document doesn't fulfill certain criteria. In fact, a surprisingly large number of features in Solr are implemented as Update Processors and therefore it is necessary to understand how such plugins work and where are they configured.

The easiest way to describe an Update Request Processor is to look at the Javadocs of the abstract class {solr-javadocs}//solr-core/org/apache/solr/update/processor/UpdateRequestProcessor.html[UpdateRequestProcessor]. Every UpdateRequestProcessor must have a corresponding factory class which extends {solr-javadocs}/solr-core/org/apache/solr/update/processor/UpdateRequestProcessorFactory.html[UpdateRequestProcessorFactory]. This factory class is used by Solr to create a new instance of this plugin. Such a design provides two benefits:
1. An update request processor need not be thread safe because it is used by one and only one request thread and destroyed once the request is complete.
2. The factory class can accept configuration parameters and maintain any state that may be required between requests. The factory class must be thread-safe.
. An update request processor need not be thread safe because it is used by one and only one request thread and destroyed once the request is complete.
. The factory class can accept configuration parameters and maintain any state that may be required between requests. The factory class must be thread-safe.
Every update request processor chain is constructed during loading of a Solr core and cached until the core is unloaded. Each `UpdateRequestProcessorFactory` specified in the chain is also instantiated and initialized with configuration that may have been specified in `solrconfig.xml`.
When an update request is received by Solr, it looks up the update chain to be used for this request. A new instance of each UpdateRequestProcessor specified in the chain is created using the corresponding factory. The update request is parsed into corresponding {solr-javadocs}/solr-core/org/apache/solr/update/UpdateCommand.html[UpdateCommand] objects which are run through the chain. Each UpdateRequestProcessor instance is responsible for invoking the next plugin in the chain. It can choose to short circuit the chain by not invoking the next processor and even abort further processing by throwing an exception.
[NOTE]
====
A single update request may contain a batch of multiple new documents or deletes and therefore the corresponding processXXX methods of an UpdateRequestProcessor will be invoked multiple times for every individual update. However, it is guaranteed that a single thread will serially invoke these methods.

For example, consider the "dedupe" chain which we saw in a section above. Assume that a 3-node SolrCloud cluster exists where node A hosts the leader of shard1, node B hosts the leader of shard2 and node C hosts the replica of shard2. Assume that an update request is sent to node A which forwards the update to node B (because the update belongs to shard2) which then distributes the update to its replica node C. Let's see what happens at each node:
* **Node A**: Runs the update through the `SignatureUpdateProcessor` (which computes the signature and puts it in the "id" field), then `LogUpdateProcessor` and then `DistributedUpdateProcessor`. This processor determines that the update actually belongs to node B and is forwarded to node B. The update is not processed further. This is required because the next processor, `RunUpdateProcessor`, will execute the update against the local shard1 index which would lead to duplicate data on shard1 and shard2.
* **Node B**: Receives the update and sees that it was forwarded by another node. The update is directly sent to `DistributedUpdateProcessor` because it has already been through the `SignatureUpdateProcessor` on node A and doing the same signature computation again would be redundant. The `DistributedUpdateProcessor` determines that the update indeed belongs to this node, distributes it to its replica on Node C and then forwards the update further in the chain to `RunUpdateProcessor`.
* **Node C**: Receives the update and sees that it was distributed by its leader. The update is directly sent to `DistributedUpdateProcessor` which performs some consistency checks and forwards the update further in the chain to `RunUpdateProcessor`.

In summary:
1. All processors before `DistributedUpdateProcessor` are only run on the first node that receives an update request whether it be a forwarding node (e.g., node A in the above example) or a leader (e.g., node B). We call these "pre-processors" or just "processors".
2. All processors after `DistributedUpdateProcessor` run only on the leader and the replica nodes. They are not executed on forwarding nodes. Such processors are called "post-processors".

In the previous section, we saw that the `updateRequestProcessorChain` was configured with `processor="remove_blanks, signature"`. This means that such processors are of the #1 kind and are run only on the forwarding nodes. Similarly, we can configure them as the #2 kind by specifying with the attribute "post-processor" as follows:

However executing a processor only on the forwarding nodes is a great way of distributing an expensive computation such as de-duplication across a SolrCloud cluster by sending requests randomly via a load balancer. Otherwise the expensive computation is repeated on both the leader and replica nodes.

.Pre-processors and Atomic Updates
[WARNING]
====
Because `DistributedUpdateProcessor` is responsible for processing <<updating-parts-of-documents.adoc#updating-parts-of-documents,Atomic Updates>> into full documents on the leader node, this means that pre-processors which are executed only on the forwarding nodes can only operate on the partial document. If you have a processor which must process a full document then the only choice is to specify it as a post-processor.

=== Update Processor Factories That Can Be Loaded as Plugins
These processors are included in Solr releases as "contribs", and require additional jars loaded at runtime. See the README files associated with each contrib for details:
* The {solr-javadocs}/solr-langid/index.html[`langid`] contrib provides:
** {solr-javadocs}/solr-langid/org/apache/solr/update/processor/LangDetectLanguageIdentifierUpdateProcessorFactory.html[LangDetectLanguageIdentifierUpdateProcessorFactory]: Identifies the language of a set of input fields using http://code.google.com/p/language-detection.
** {solr-javadocs}/solr-langid/org/apache/solr/update/processor/TikaLanguageIdentifierUpdateProcessorFactory.html[TikaLanguageIdentifierUpdateProcessorFactory]: Identifies the language of a set of input fields using Tika's LanguageIdentifier.
* The {solr-javadocs}/solr-uima/index.html[`uima`] contrib provides:
** {solr-javadocs}/solr-uima/org/apache/solr/uima/processor/UIMAUpdateRequestProcessorFactory.html[UIMAUpdateRequestProcessorFactory]: Update document(s) to be indexed with UIMA extracted information.
The {solr-javadocs}/solr-langid/index.html[`langid`] contrib provides::

[[UpdateRequestProcessors-UpdateProcessorFactoriesYouShouldNotModifyorRemove]]
=== Update Processor Factories You Should _Not_ Modify or Remove
These are listed for completeness, but are part of the Solr infrastructure, particularly SolrCloud. Other than insuring you do _not_ remove them when modifying the update request handlers (or any copies you make), you will rarely, if ever, need to change these.
* {solr-javadocs}/solr-core/org/apache/solr/update/processor/DistributedUpdateProcessorFactory.html[DistributedUpdateProcessorFactory]: Used to distribute updates to all necessary nodes.
** {solr-javadocs}/solr-core/org/apache/solr/update/processor/NoOpDistributingUpdateProcessorFactory.html[NoOpDistributingUpdateProcessorFactory]: An alternative No-Op implementation of `DistributingUpdateProcessorFactory` that always returns null. Designed for experts who want to bypass distributed updates and use their own custom update logic.
* {solr-javadocs}/solr-core/org/apache/solr/update/processor/LogUpdateProcessorFactory.html[LogUpdateProcessorFactory]: A logging processor. This keeps track of all commands that have passed through the chain and prints them on finish().
* {solr-javadocs}/solr-core/org/apache/solr/update/processor/RunUpdateProcessorFactory.html[RunUpdateProcessorFactory]: Executes the update commands using the underlying UpdateHandler. Almost all processor chains should end with an instance of `RunUpdateProcessorFactory` unless the user is explicitly executing the update commands in an alternative custom `UpdateRequestProcessorFactory`.
