Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-6384:
--------------------------------------------

bq. At least as a simple improvement, Adrien mentioned we can add 
RIW.tryDeleteDocument that returns 'false' sometimes randomly?

+1


> remove or fix IndexWriter.tryDeleteDocument

> This method is causing bugs in tests, I think its a trap.
> I don't think people understand the semantics of it, and i don't like that 
> its difficult for it to return false in tests
> So its unlikely to return false in tests, only in production. Broken just 
> like java 7 string hashing.
> I think we should either remove it, rename it, fix the javadocs let 
> IndexWriter create a random and intentionally return false from this method 
> say 1% of the time to make it less trappy, something.
