Hi Mike,
Thanks for the response.
I looked at that issue, but my case is trivial to fix. I just keep the Set of
terms I have deleted and ignore those during my second interation.
Thanks
Antony

This is known & expected.
Lucene does not update the terms dictionary (meaning which terms are
in the index, and their frequency) in response to deleted docs.
It does update TermDocs enumeration, ie once you get the TermDocs for
a given term and step through its docs, the deleted docs will not be
returned.
One workaround is to call IndexWriter.expungeDeletes, but that's a
costly operation (forces merges of any segments containing deletes).
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1613 was opened to gather
use cases / issues on this... if this is impacting your application,
can you post some details to that issue?

I am merging Index A to Index B. First I read the terms for a particular
field from index A and some of the documents in A get deleted.
I then enumerate the terms on a different field also in index A, but the
terms from the deleted document are still present.
The termEnum.docFreq() also returns > 0 for those terms even though the docs
are deleted.
Should this be the case? I have tried closing the reader between
enumerations, but no difference.
