Tim Smith commented on LUCENE-1721:
-----------------------------------

reopen() actually doesn't do the trick

the following situation will always result in reopen() returning a different 
IndexReader instance (at least in 2.4):
* commit()
* open IndexReader
* delete(docid not in index)
* commit() - creates new segments_N file (even though no files actually changed)
* reopen() IndexReader - returns new instance, because of new segments_N file

> IndexWriter to allow deletion by doc ids

> It would be great if IndexWriter would allow for deletion by doc ids as well. 
> It makes sense for cases where a "query" has been executed beforehand, and 
> later, that query needs to be applied in order to delete the matched 
> documents.
