Your problem is this: Lucene is an index and not a database. A lot of
semantic information is lost when you pass a document to the writer. If
you want to add data to an existing document in the index, you really
want to remove the old and create a new one.
It would be possible to analyze the index and re-create the information,
but as far as I know, you will not find that functionality in the API.
Basically you would have to extract the tokens (unless the data is
stored and you know for a fact what analyzer you used for each
document), extract boost values, take a look at the vectors, et.c. It's
quite a messy procedure.
Please try to create a new email rather than replying to and changing
the subject of an old thread next time. And please post questions of
this character to the users- rather than the dev-list.
