Description

The capabilities here aren't really documented as a group anywhere I could see in the official pages, there are a couple of references to them but nothing that really serves draws attention. These need to be documented.

Where does it make sense to put this? It doesn't really fit under "Understanding Analyzers, Tokenizers, and Filters", except kinda since they can be used to alter how data gets indexed, think of the Parse[Date|Int|Float..] factories.

Straw-man: add child pages to "Understanding Analyzers, Tokenizers, and Filters" for "What is an UpdateRequestProcessor", "UpdateRequestProcessors", and probably something like "How to configure your UpdateRequestProcessor". Or???
