**[Michael Bien](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=mbien)** commented i was reading up on lucene yesterday and I entirely forgot that a key point of their data structure is that it is entirely immutable! This means deleting a doc won't delete anything - all it does is to set a flag, it is updated later while queries run during segment merges. Feel free to close this issue, however, I believe it is worth investigating if the filter could be run in the reader itself while it is building the index, this should hopefully have an actual effect on the resulting index size. edit: maybe the filter could be even used to throw away data within the docs, which would be possible at that stage I believe. E.g I have the suspicion that the major contribution to the index size is because some artifacts put their documentation into the description field (but this is only a guess at this point - not verified). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
