Hi all,  
I just started using Julia and JuMP. I went through the tutorials  
([https://jump.dev/JuMP.jl/stable/tutorials/Mixed-integer%20linear%20programs/cutting\_stock\_column\_generation/](https://jump.dev/JuMP.jl/stable/tutorials/Mixed-integer%20linear%20programs/cutting_stock_column_generation/)) and in the column generation example and in general it is unclear to me if the problem gets re-solved from scratch whenever I add a new variable to the model or if the model “in the solver” is updated and there is a hot start from the current solution.  
More general, if a JuMP model is changed after it was solved and I solve the changed version, is it solving from scratch or is there a hot start in the solver?  
From the documentation I guess it’s only changing the model in the solver when using solver independent callbacks ([Solver-independent Callbacks · JuMP](https://jump.dev/JuMP.jl/stable/manual/callbacks/)).

Thanks a lot in advance!

It depends on the solver. In most cases, JuMP maintains the model in memory, so it doesn’t rebuild every time.
