Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-3828:
--------------------------------------
bq. I agree with point (1), because it might be handy to delete documents by
internal docId. I am not sure why this would not be possible through
IndexWriter, but the problem here is the background-merging/merging at all, so
with TieredMergePolicy even with a open IndexWriter the docIds can change
suddenly. The only way to get stable docIds would be some mode to freeze
IndexWriter's merging, get an NRT reader, delete documents using the integer ID
on IndexWriter, then unfreeze and commit. IndexReader should of course stay
read-only.
Seems like the best way to deleteByDocId in the IndexWriter is to somehow
express it as a custom Query (rather than trying to freeze IndexWriter).

> Key: LUCENE-3828
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3828
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core/index
> Affects Versions: 4.0
> Reporter: Andrzej Bialecki
>
> It appears that there is a major regression in the trunk API. It's no longer
> possible to:
> 1. delete document by internal id (even though you can iterate and retrieve
> docs by internal ids)
> 2. undelete all deleted (but not yet reclaimed) documents
> 3. set norm value on a specific document (by internal id)
> The lack of #1 means that you have to use delete by term or by query, which
> in turn means that now we require that documents have a unique primary key
> (otherwise you won't be able to delete a particular document that shares
> terms with other docs). IMHO this item is critical and should be fixed.
> The lack of #2 might not be critical but it still comes handy in some
> situations.
> The lack of #3 means that you have to update the whole doc if you just want
> to correct one field, which might be ok for the time being - it's a special
> case of not having updateable fields in general. But it's quite inconvenient
> if all you want to do is to adjust a weight of doc without reindexing,
> something that is possible with 3.x.
