Hi , Lets say I have a document {name :"Jhon"} and index is eventually consistent. I update the document to {name :"Tom"}. The lucene index is not updated. But In search I am getting 1 result for name : "Jhon" . 1. What will field value for name Jhon or Tom ?

Hey, can you be more specific and provide more information? How do you update a document without updating the lucene index? Is this some theoretical eventual consistency fallacy here or something you stumbled across and should be considered a bug? If so, can you reproduce? Please be more specific, unsure, what your question is.
