Tim Smith updated LUCENE-1705:
------------------------------
Attachment: DeleteAllFlushDocCountFix.patch
Here's a patch that fixes the deleteAll() + updateDocument() issue
just needed to set the FlushDocCount to 0 after aborting the outstanding
documents
> Add deleteAllDocuments() method to IndexWriter
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-1705
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1705
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Index
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Tim Smith
> Assignee: Michael McCandless
> Fix For: 2.9
>
> Attachments: DeleteAllFlushDocCountFix.patch,
> IndexWriterDeleteAll.patch, LUCENE-1705.patch
>
>
> Ideally, there would be a deleteAllDocuments() or clear() method on the
> IndexWriter
> This method should have the same performance and characteristics as:
> * currentWriter.close()
> * currentWriter = new IndexWriter(..., create=true,...)
> This would greatly optimize a delete all documents case. Using
> deleteDocuments(new MatchAllDocsQuery()) could be expensive given a large
> existing index.
> IndexWriter.deleteAllDocuments() should have the same semantics as a
> commit(), as far as index visibility goes (new IndexReader opening would get
> the empty index)
> I see this was previously asked for in LUCENE-932, however it would be nice
> to finally see this added such that the IndexWriter would not need to be
> closed to perform the "clear" as this seems to be the general recommendation
> for working with an IndexWriter now
> deleteAllDocuments() method should:
> * abort any background merges (they are pointless once a deleteAll has been
> received)
> * write new segments file referencing no segments
> This method would remove one of the final reasons i would ever need to close
> an IndexWriter and reopen a new one
