Hi Tushar, If you refer to the Javadocs for IndexReader, you'll come across the following line:
"For efficiency, in this API documents are often referred to via document numbers, non-negative integers which each name a unique document in the index. These document numbers are ephemeral--they may change as documents are added to and deleted from an index. Clients should thus not rely on a given document having the same number between sessions." If its a single term that you are searching on, then its better to you IndexReader's deleteDocuments(Term term) > (initial vector size is 100 I guess). Yes. Hope it helps.

The problem happens in Hits::getMoreDocs. By the time 6400 docs are deleted, the majority is gone and topDocs.totalHits becomes less than 6400 (In this case 5075) and finally causes exception in the last line of Hits::hitDoc. I just took the example numbers which occured in my case but this happens for any hits > 200 (initial vector size is 100 I guess). Any insight on the logic here will be very helpful (note: I have a workaround too) thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lucene-faq.blogspot.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
